Hydro-Québec faces numerous challenges to inspect and maintain its infrastructures. Robotics used for infrastructure inspection can lead valuable gains in efficiency. However, large-scale adoption of inspection robots requires higher autonomy levels, like the capacity to autonomously inspect specific assets. AI-based object detection and localization is a key capability to complete autonomous inspections with robots. This […]

In this project, we propose the use of blockchains to provide reliability, security, and transparency for collecting and querying IoT data in the energy sector. In particular, we will implement and evaluate our blockchain solution for enabling transactions in local energy markets, where homeowners have the capacity to generate energy (through renewables), stock energy (through […]

People who experience mental wellness challenges or mental illness often struggle to obtain or maintain a position in the workplace. Furthermore, lack of employment means individuals lose out on a myriad of mental, emotional, and physiological benefits that are generated through work. This is extremely relevant given the current COVID crisis, where personal distancing and […]

In this research, we propose the design of an efficient automated system which can effectively learn from the patterns of malicious activities, in the form of distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) against web servers on the Internet, and subsequently offer potential victims protection against such attacks by banning such requests in advance. A DDoS […]

The project will be about the development of foreign exchange, risk management and international payments software systems of the partner organization. The intern will be responsible for designing and implementing new software systems, maintaining and improving performance of existing systems and writing automated tests for new and existing software systems. This project will improve the […]

The 5G network provides an innovation in cloud assets delivery that will transform multiple application domains such as health care, autonomous driving, smart cities, Industry 4.0, etc. Relying on the ENCQOR infrastructure (the first 5G network in Canada), this research will apply machine learning to improve network failure detection and optimize network recovery for continuity […]

In this project the intern will work with an expert team from the company Xanadu, to explore new computational methods and approaches which could be helpful for optimizing hybrid calculations involving both classical and quantum computing combined together.

The intern shall participate in a research and development project to create applications for the Goodlocal organization, that will help the organization expand it’s support of local businesses by providing logistical and operational services. Goodlocal’s body of work have confirmed that their successful online marketplace has largely benefited local business owners and in line with […]

Tugboat has 1000s of questions and responses submitted by clients. Users upload questions which can be answered using the “Auto Answer” functionality. The “Auto Answer” technology leverages weighted search vectors to search answer databases and prioritize which answers to recommend for a given question. The objective of the project is to leverage this dataset by […]

This project aims to employ a universal design framework to employ a social robot-aided training system to support the visually impaired community in attaining an inclusive job interview process. The universal design framework advocates that any given environment is accessible by persons with disabilities, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or […]

In medicine, imaging-based exams are used to support diagnostics, treatment planning andlor the treatment itself. Considering the number, integration and nature of devices in a multi-surface environment (e.g. smartphones, tablets, multi-touch surfaces and wall displays), this project proposes a system for imaging visualization and manipulation that takes advantages from each device’s capabilities in the environment.
