SFU Robotics brings together researchers in the School of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University to advance intelligent, reliable, and human-aware robotic systems. Our research spans automated planning and multi-robot coordination; computer vision, robot learning, and manipulation; safe navigation and control; and human–robot interaction, social intelligence, and affective computing.
