Welcome to the Neuromechanics and Robotics Control Lab (NeuRoC Lab) at McGill University.

We work on creating digital version of human to simulate, predict and develop new human-robots interaction with an emphasis on exoskeleton, prosthesis and wearable sensors. Our goal is to increase quality of life of individuals with neural injury, prevent injury and promote independent healthy aging. To increase visibility of our research and increase impact on society, we aim to release all developed software, research article and dataset open source/open access following FAIR ( Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse ) principles.

The NeuRoC Lab is accepting graduate students to start January 2026. The deadline for applying is July 16th. More info: https://www.mcgill.ca/mecheng/grad/admission
