Joshua Marshall is a multi-disciplinary engineering scientist, educator, and technical consultant with expertise in mobile robotics, autonomous driving, systems control engineering, vehicle navigation and mapping. He has a particular interest in and experience with heavy vehicle automation and planetary exploration applications.
Dr. Marshall is an Associate Professor and leads the Offroad Robotics research group. He is also the Interim Director of a new Queen’s research institute called Ingenuity Labs. He joined the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Queen’s University in May 2010. From August 2016 to July 2017 he was KKS International Visiting Professor of Computer Science at the Centre for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS) in the School of Science and Technology at Örebro University, Sweden. He received the B.Sc.(Hons.) degree in mine-mechanical engineering and the M.Sc.(Eng.) degree in mechanical engineering, both from Queen’s University at Kingston, Canada. He received the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering, specializing in systems control, from the University of Toronto, Canada.
Over the course of his career, Dr. Marshall has worked on equipment automation and field robotics-related R&D projects together with several companies, agencies, and institutes, including Barrick Gold Corporation, Epiroc’s Rocktec Division, Maclean Engineering, MDA Space Missions, Cameco Corporation, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), the European Space Agency’s (ESA) European Space Research and Technology Centre, Sandvik Mining and Construction, and Inco’s Mines Research Department. Prior to joining Queen’s, Dr. Marshall was a tenure-track Assistant Professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario and an R&D/Control Systems Engineer on both space and terrestrial robotics projects at Canadian robotics firm MacDonald, Dettwiler, and Associates (MDA), Inc. in Brampton, Ontario. He continues to serve as a consultant to industry. Dr. Marshall’s work is featured in the From Earth to Us exhibit a the Canada Science and Technology Museum, among other public outlets. Dr. Marshall is a Senior Member of the IEEE and is a licensed Professional Engineer in the province of Ontario. He currently lives in Kingston, Canada with his wife Jillian and children Owen, Maeve, and Finn.
