The proposed work combines artificial intelligence and diagnostic medicine. Using X-ray images, radiologists and veterinarians can perform an array of measurements to assess patient health. In a veterinary setting, standard measurements and annotations are performed on X-ray images to assess heart and knee health in canines, namely vertebral heart score (VHS) and tibial plateau angle […]

In this project, a key research project for the robotization of the timber building construction is proposed. By developing a full-scale robotic cell for mass timber walls and showcasing its benefits compared to current manual situations, in terms of safety, quality, productivity and so forth, we expect to support the introduction of robotic cells in […]

Combined heat and power generation (CHP) is an efficient method of recovering waste heat of flue gas in internal combustion engines. CHP using natural gas (NG CHP) is actually a NG power generator combined with a waste heat recovery (WHR) system. The by-product heat from the electricity generation is captured by passing the high temperature […]

This project is intended to help the industrial partner, Stelco, to develop electrical steels with improved magnetic properties through controlled thermomechanical processing. Electrical steels are widely used in the manufacturing of stators and rotors of electric motors used in general rotating machines and electric vehicles. Improving the magnetic properties of electrical steels would result in […]

In March 2020, the new human coronavirus disease COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. As of May 21, 2020, the World Health Organization has reported over 4.8 million confirmed cases, including over 323,000 deaths worldwide. Only in Canada, the number of confirmed infections and deaths have reached over 80,000 and 6,000, respectively. Apart from the elevated […]

There is a chance of loss of control, health complications and fatigue caused by the impact forces and vibrations transmitted form the vehicle body to the passengers. The main objective of this research is to conduct the field tests of the active suspension, which was designed, patented, simulated, and tested in the laboratory in previous […]

AIS Inc. is at the forefront of developing practical mobile robots for various markets. Mobile robots are considered as very complex systems comprising of hundreds of interacting components in complex system architectures. Developing such complex robotic systems, particularly in large scale, requires a coherent collaboration and engagement on various specialized areas such as scientific research, […]

With the latest measurements and experimental tests, we have strong evidence that the HubTrack is energy efficient and ecologically sound for a multifunctional transportation solution. Currently, the latest HubTrack operational system has reached the stage of pre-commercialization with an industrial standard compliant model based on monorail standards. To better position the HubTrack initiative as a […]

A composite material is a macro-level combination of two or more material whose properties can be tuned based on the macro-scale distribution of the material. D.I. Self-Composite Alloys Inc., are working on developing a new generation of materials. Their preliminary findings have shown that it is possible to create metals with improved mechanical properties by […]

The use of new technologies, such as Gallium Nitride electronic switches, allows very efficient and compact power converters to be manufactured at reasonable cost. This is particularly interesting in applications such as electric vehicles. This project focuses on developing software simulation models and techniques for deploying these latest high voltage switches, in particular focussing on […]

The proposed project will establish a wearable yoga device consisting of various sensors and I/O devices and how they can be integrated to build a prototype device for demonstration purposes. Through utilizing embedded systems, sensory data from sensors, one can obtain relevant information about posture and breathing patterns in real-time or use the data for […]
