The goal of this project is to develop a low-cost ventilation system which accurately detects and records both patient treatment data and environmental data is in great need. Further, such a system will allow to create a global health map. This research and resulting hardware and software will not only benefit the current research of […]

A notorious phenomenon limiting general-purpose computing today is memory wall. Memory – the hardware used to store the data- is located relatively far from the central processing unit (CPU), so applications spend a lot of time waiting on data to travel from memory to the CPU. New memory hardware, such as the one addressed in […]

This is a feasibility study for designing an automatic marine vessel detection system that can be used by an Unmanned Surface Vehicle. Following a thorough exploration of the challenges related to the video date acquired on the boat by our partner, we will come up with recommendations for the best camera hardware setup and preprocessing […]

Sitting for long periods of time has negative health effects that could be solved by changing posture throughout the day. The solution lies in the use of sit-stand desks, active seats, and automated reminders to change position. For this purpose, this project focuses on developing software that can intelligently determine a person’s posture using sensors […]

Lunar and planetary rovers are faced with a high volume of data from their sensors and cameras, and yet decisions must be made rapidly to prioritize to which crater it should drive up to and of which rock it should take a closer look. In Canada’s intended upcoming exploration of the Lunar surface aboard short-timescale […]

Modern electric power systems are rapidly adopting renewable energy resources. This positive movement, however, does bring with it major challenges to the way we operate power systems. In particular we may face drastic frequency changes and far-reaching transient phenomena. One way to remedy these is to deploy energy storage systems, such a s batteries, to […]

The process for responding to tenders is very long, arduous and involves many repetitive tasks. Among these, it is necessary to read the invitation to tender in order to find the different requirements, important dates, legal obligations, constraints of presentation of the response, etc. All of these factors are used for the prequalification of a […]

The current non-destructive and fast method of hyperspectral imaging technology are used for different application from remote sensing to medical imaging and food processing. Due to the nature of acquired data which are massive as well as physical consideration depend on the type of application, the careful, fast and accurate data analysis is mandatory to […]

The research problem to be addressed is the pickup and delivery problem (last mile) with precedence constraints for the pickup/delivery operations, and time windows. The objective is: (i) the design of a new algorithm that will use the algorithm of Curtois et al. [6] as a starting point, and to generalize it with precedence constraints, […]

When construction equipment digs, this generates a complex set of physical interactions between the machine and the soil. Being able to accurately simulate such interactions in real-time opens the door to improved operator training and even adaptively-tuned digging operation that optimize the energy-efficiency of construction equipment. With recent advanced in artificial intelligence (AI), this is […]

ReWatt Power facilitates transactions of green energy derivatives/green attributes such as Alberta Carbon Offsets. The company uses a blockchain technology to manage all transactions on their platform. This way, all parties have access to the transaction history in a database they own, and the transactions are immutable. The first objective of this project is to […]

Realistic driving experience in motion simulators is a key element for the impressiveness of the VR based simulators. In the driving simulator the free motion of the vehicle is mapped to a motion platform with limited workspace by filtering out the motion and scaling it down with a motion cueing algorithm. These algorithms should be […]
