The University of Waterloo Nanorobotics Group (UW_NRG) is an undergraduate research and design group. The goal of this group is to represent the University of Waterloo and Canada at the Mobile Microrobotics Challenge, hosted at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation, while promoting ourselves in the community.
Currently UW_NRG are the world champions in Microassembly and we are aiming to defend that title for future competitions. We currently have four ongoing technical projects focusing on various MEMS applications. Another important aspect of UW_NRG is marketing and business. Marketing is responsible for hosting nanotechnology outreach programs in our community by planning events and seminars, while business development promotes our group to sponsors in a bid to fund the group’s endeavors.
UW_NRG is looking for a group of bright, talented students who love to learn and would be willing to put in the time and effort to help with designing and producing future projects. This is a very unique student group providing students with vast amounts of knowledge and valuable experience in the design and fabrication of MEMS devices and project management. This type of experience is often only available through graduate level studies.
