Open entirely new frontiers with robotics
The University of Toronto Robotics Institute is merging engineering and computer science to open worlds once beyond our reach.

Performing surgery on individual cells. Helping vulnerable patients recover from injury or stroke at home. Exploring harsh planetary surfaces. Though often misunderstood, the field of robotics can help us do tasks once thought impossible, whether in scientific research, health, manufacturing, and beyond—work that will create new avenues of discovery and care.
Our belief in the extraordinary promise of robotics is grounded in our focus on collaboration and co-operation. We’re drawing on U of T’s leading strengths across diverse fields to do work that is not only world-leading but is opening up entirely new frontiers that will benefit everyone.
