Managing a consistent plant environment is critical to maximizing yield and quality of plant produced in a controlled environment agricultural (CEA) systems. The environmental conditions directly impact plant production which in turn impact plant product quality and marketability. The quality of the produced plant (leafy greens, or other plants) are influenced by both the environment […]

Les études démontrent que 15-20 % des patients sont insatisfaits en post prothèse totale du genou. Plusieurs de ces patients présentent de la douleur antérieure. Dans le cas du syndrome fémoro-patellaire, différents déficits biomécaniques pouvant expliquer ces symptômes ont été identifiés. Cependant, aucune étude ne s’est intéressée à la biomécanique du genou chez une population […]

This project is a collaborative endeavour between Rocscience Inc. and Dr. Mitri’s research group at McGill University. Rocscience is a leading firm specializing in the development of geotechnical engineering software. The project aims to validate the discrete fracture network modelling (DFN) approach as a tool for rock slope stability design/ analysis in civil and mining […]

Rogers Communications, with around 8,000 cell towers in Canada, faces challenges in manual inspections, which are slow and risky. In collaboration with Rogers, our research team is developing a cutting-edge solution: small drones enhanced with 5G and AI technology. This approach aims to revolutionize tower inspections by providing faster, more accurate, and safer methods. The […]

The demand for higher bandwidth and ultra-lower latency has increased due to the rise of wireless devices. To meet these challenges, fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) offers enhanced bandwidths with higher data rates and ultra-lower latency for real-time applications. The ultra-dense networks in 5G NR can improve the coverage. However, it can cause problem […]

The proposed research project “Cloud based hybrid low-cost appliance control and monitor system” is an appliance automation system consisting of an arrangement of different channels of communication. The main idea behind the proposed work is to provide a real time control and monitoring for industrial appliances located in workplaces where internet accessibility is not immediate. […]

While emotions are an integral part of human self-expression, not everyone conveys their emotions in the same manner. For instance, an individual with cerebral palsy (CP) may experience difficulties in producing clear speech due to severe gross and fine motor impairments and existing augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices are limited when head and limb […]

L’entreprise Hyperflo développe la gamme de ventilateurs axiaux miniers. Depuis plusieurs décennies, cette technologie a fait ses preuves en matière d’efficacité énergétique et d’aérodynamisme. Toutefois, elle doit respecter les nouvelles exigences normatives de performance et de santé et sécurité. Le moyeu/pales étant le système le plus imposant des ventilateurs qui fonctionne dans des conditions opératoires […]

The proposed research involves the synthesis and in-depth characterization of conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a benchmark of super-porous and functional materials. The as-developed conductive MOFs will be thence employed to yield free-standing multi-scale porous aerogels as ultra-light functional constructs. These aerogels are potent candidates for absorption-dominant electromagnetic (EM) shields and energy storage systems. The […]

This research focuses on making big tree-planting project better. In this project, special cameras are going to be used on planting machines to check if young trees are standing up straight when planted. This helps workers know right away if a tree isn’t planted correctly. The cameras use smart technology to quickly analyze how the […]

Pilot training plays an important role in the aerospace industry and must also be aligned with the industry’s objective to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Electrification of training aircraft is a solution already being implemented by training services such as CAE. However, current battery technology is limiting the potential benefits of a direct retrofit […]

Les technologies Skyrenu inc. (Skyrenu) développe une technologie de captage de CO2 directement de l’air, afin d’atténuer les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. La technologie développée utilise un procédé cyclique d’adsorption dans lequel un matériau adsorbant fonctionnalisé subit des cycles d’adsorption/désorption pour capturer et libérer le CO2. Dans le cadre de ce projet, […]
