Faculty membership in Ingenuity Labs is open to any faculty member at Queen’s whose research work directly involves robotics, artificial intelligence, and/or human-machine interfaces. The process involves an application letter, a nomination letter from an existing faculty member, and a presentation to the institute membership. The Steering Committee will deliberate and decide on the candidate’s membership in Ingenuity Labs. Please review Section 3.1 of our constitution for more details.
