Andrew Stirling

Hi! My name is Andrew Stirling. I am a Master’s (Thesis) student in Montréal at McGill University studying Robotics, with the DECAR Lab, which conducts fundamental and applied research on state estimation (navigation), guidance, and control.

I research state estimation for robotic systems in GNSS (GPS)-denied environments fusing ultra-wideband (UWB) technology with cameras, IMUs, and other sensors to tackle SLAM and localization challenges.

Raised in Calgary, at the foot of the Canadian Rockies, I am passionate about applying Robotics to human-centered and environmental challenges. Specifically, I am interested in leveraging my background in estimation and perception to improve field robotics for ocean, agricultural, and healthcare applications.
