Best Student Paper at MARSS 2025
🏆 Best Student Paper Award at MARSS 2025
Our paper on a “Magnetically Actuated Capsule Mechanism for Drug Delivery, Sampling, and Cargo Transport” won Best Student Paper Award at the IEEE International Conference on Manipulation, Automation and Robotics at Small Scales (MARSS 2025). Congratulations to Shivam Gupta and Veerash Palanichamy for leading this incredible effort!
HeART Lab alumna Mackenzie Keeler was featured as a McMaster Grad to Watch. Read more about Mackenzie’s journey here.

Best Student Paper at CSME
🏆 Best Paper Award at CSME International Congress
Our paper on Automated Fabrication of Magnetic Soft Microrobots earned 1st Place at the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering! Huge congratulations to Kaitlyn Clancy for leading this work, with key contributions from Siwen Xie and Griffin Smith. This is an especially meaningful win with over 600 accepted submissions across a wide spectrum of mechanical engineering topics.
A huge congratulations to Shivam Gupta and Reyhaneh Norouziani on successfully defending their Master’s theses in Software Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering – McMaster University this week! 🥳
Shivam and Reyhaneh have been instrumental in laying the foundations of our lab’s research in microrobotics and medical technologies, and we couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments. 🚀
Though their Master’s journeys are complete, you can still catch them presenting their work at two upcoming conferences:
đź©ş The Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics
🤖 MARSS – The International Conference on Manipulation, Automation and Robotics at Small Scales
We wish them all the best as they take the next steps in their careers—and we know they will continue to do amazing things! 💫
Dr. Onaizah served on the Robotics panel at the 13th Annual National WiSE Conference: Reaching for the Stars on January 26, 2025 organized by Women in Science and Engineering.
What can you accomplish during your capstone? Just ask this incredible team of researchers (Jackson Sholdice, Kaitlyn Clancy, Carl Castro, and Lauren Watson) at the Faculty of Engineering – McMaster University who didn’t stop at graduation. Instead, they transformed their final year design project into a research publication and a provisional patent through McMaster Industry Liaison Office (MILO)!
Over the summer, we welcomed NSERC USRA winner Karolina Teresinska to the team, further accelerating our progress.
At the HeART Lab @ Mac, we have developed the first automated 3D printer for magnetic soft robots, allowing us to go from design to product in minutes. This work was recently published in Advanced Robotics Research! 🎉
