By carrying out brilliant research in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence at McGill University, Robert Sim intends to improve our society and ensure that the application of these inventions is done is a peaceful and responsible manner. A model of integrity and humility, this doctoral student has quickly learned to demonstrate to his peers, through numerous implications in the defence of student rights, the diversity of causes in which he believes. In fact, Robert has participated in the development of several projects on his campus. He has also participated in evaluation protocol reform and the graduate student association of his university as well as in studies on the development of a policy on intellectual property, a fundamental issue for graduate students in Quebec. Between computer science and all the social causes he has espoused, Robert takes his role as teacher to heart: he regards getting children interested in science as essential and offers them the opportunity to make regular visits to his research centre.
