This project aims to enhance Independence Robotics’ assistive robotic system by making it more powerful, modular, and reliable. We will upgrade the system’s hardware by transitioning from an Arduino Mega to an ESP32 microcontroller and integrating CAN bus communication for better sensor and actuator support. On the software side, we will develop real-time teleoperation controls […]

As IoT adoption grows, ensuring seamless connectivity across diverse environments is increasingly challenging. Many devices, such as sensors in farming, environmental monitoring, and disaster response, operate in remote areas where traditional networks are unavailable or insufficient. In such cases, NTN-integrated networks play a crucial role in providing connectivity. However, NTN communications require high transmission power, […]

The ultimate goal of this project is to detect and localize leaks in pipelines in real time. Hifi Engineering has developed distributed fiber optic sensors. Measurements are obtained at evenly spaced intervals along the pipeline (called channels). This project aims to develop data processing tools to improve leak detection and localization. Many events occur along […]

Spero Analytics is a research-driven IoT startup which builds mesh networks for automated, continuous surveillance of greenhouse gas emissions in landfills and energy facilities. As those networks are power efficient and operate using radio communication, they can be deployed in remote industrial areas with limited cellular/power infrastructure. The existing system architecture consists of a gateway […]

Aston Dynamics Canada Limited (Aston Dynamics) is working on improving electro-hydraulic braking (EHB) systems for electric and heavy-duty vehicles. The company has already made significant progress in solving key issues like slow braking response, reliability, and limited braking force. They’ve developed and tested prototypes that show better braking control and efficiency, especially for electric vehicles, […]

Trebble.fm is building the next generation of AI-powered audio and video editing software for everyday creators. The primary objective of this project is to implement a practical classifier system that can determine whether a section of an edited audio file sounds natural after text-based editing operations. Our approach will be focused on building a production-ready […]

This project, in partnership with SimplyCast, aims to create a smart waste management solution to help the City of Regina reduce landfill waste and support its sustainability goals. Despite having waste collection schedules and reminders in place, many residents still lack the tools and awareness needed to reduce waste effectively. By using SimplyCast’s no-code automation […]

This research project aims to develop an AI-powered essay grading system that is both cost-effective and highly accurate. The project will explore how a dual-agent AI system, one that optimizes the cost and another that performs prompt refinement, can improve automated essay scoring at scale. By using advanced techniques such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and […]

We propose the construction of novel ultrasound transducer structures based on existing MEMS technology that has been in development through collaboration between Micralyne and Prof. Roger Zemp. We will be exploring linear array transducers intended for medical imaging, and individual transducers for automotive use for ultrasound range finding. We will undertake the design, modelling, fabrication, […]

Despite advancements in women’s health diagnostics, cervical cancer screening rates remain critically low due to the invasive nature of traditional collection methods like Pap smears and self-swabs. CELLECT is pioneering a non-invasive, nanotechnology-enabled collection device—the CELLECTPad—that passively captures high-quality cervical and epithelial cells during menstruation. By removing the discomfort and accessibility barriers of existing methods, […]
