Welcome to Athabasca TRESL Research Lab Symposium 2024
The Telepresence Robot Empowered Smart Lab (TRESL) revolutionizes online science education by allowing students to conduct lab work remotely, emphasizing security and privacy in the Big Data and Information Economy era. This cutting-edge lab integrates telepresence robots, the Internet of Things, and online students into a cohesive Human-in-the-Loop Cyber-Physical System (HiLCPS). AI agents enable these robots to act as avatars for distant students, facilitating interaction with remote environments and people to gain practical, hands-on experience.
This symposium serves as a platform for researchers, Ph.D. students, and other students to share and discuss their research on TRESL. This year’s event will highlight key topics such as multi-robot path planning, HiLCPS security, Human-Machine Fusion, ML/DL validation, Blockchain and Smart Contracts, and digital privacy protection in the Big Data era.
Join us to explore the future of online science education and the innovations driving it forward.

Cyber-Physical Systems
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) integrate sensing, computation, control and networking into physical objects and infrastructure, connecting them to the Internet and to each other.
Blockchain
Blockchain, is a decentralized Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) that uses cryptographic hashing to record the provenance of a digital asset. Inherently, the data on a blockchain is unable to be modified, which makes it a legitimate disruptor for industries like online education, payments, cybersecurity and healthcare.
