The PlayStation 5 DualSense controllers have popularized the concept of adaptive triggers that feel different depending on the virtual mechanism that they control. While these adaptive triggers are limited to resisting a finger’s movements, this project will explore more advanced active adaptive triggers that produce both pushing and pulling forces against the finger. The project […]

Over the last decade, there has been a growing literature on “brain plasticity” and the role of computer based games for brain health improvement. Most of the focus has been on healthy older adults. While there has been pharmacologic treatment available for dementia for decades, there is no accepted standard treatment for Mild Cognitive Impairment […]

Pour rester compétitives, les entreprises manufacturières doivent prendre le virage de la transformation numérique. Ce projet de recherche appliquée au sein d’une entreprise manufacturière vise à répondre aux préoccupations des entreprises?de ce secteur qui explorent l’utilisation de technologies RFID-IoT (Internet des Objets) pour améliorer la gestion du suivi de la production en cours. Il arrive […]

Lunar and Martian exploration have been active topics in engineering and scientific research for the past decades. With several upcoming international and commercial missions bringing new organizations to the Lunar surface, there is heightened interest in micro-rovers that can reduce mission costs and overall risk. Reduction of cost and risk is possible by predicting the […]

We are studying how to transport CO2 efficiently and safely after capturing it from places like power plants. To do this, we have to compress the CO2 above a specific point to avoid any problems during transportation. But this compressed CO2 can be very corrosive and harmful to the materials used in pipelines, especially steel. […]

While Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and related software development is growing with different opportunities, ICT related energy consumption is also dramatically increasing. In the parallel of this growth, it is wanted to minimize the negative effects by encouraging equipment that is sustainably produced, lasts longer, wastes less energy, used in an efficient way and […]

Smart grid (SG) aims at modernizing the current power grid which can better manage the electricity through the grid and react to the system faults quicker. To realize this goal, many sensors are attached to different points of the power grid infrastructure. These sensors collect data and can be used for controlling, protecting, and monitoring […]

Swimming Canada is currently working to catch up to rival nations in the areas of data acquisition from race video. To gain a significant competitive intelligence advantage over other nations, Swimming Canada needs a mechanism to gather all necessary analytics quickly, accurately, and efficiently for all athletes in a pool. Recent advances in visual machine […]

The proposed project will focus on the control of autonomous car, also known as a driverless car, which is an autonomous vehicle capable of fulfilling the human transportation capabilities of a traditional car. The research platform is an electric car with four wheel independent control. The findings in this project can be used in either […]

The growing production of clean electricity from solar resources has led to employ molten salts as heat transfer fluids for thermal energy storage technologies. Thus, the study of thermodynamic and physicochemical properties of multi-component molten salts are critical factors for the design of such units. From one side, binary salt mixtures’ thermodynamic properties are already […]

Portland cement employed in conventional concretes is responsible for 5-7% of the world’s carbon dioxide. Alkali-activated binders appears as one of the promising alternative materials to substitute the use of Portland cement in concrete. Despite this, there are still technical obstacles to be overcome for industrial use. The main gaps include the production of alkali-activated […]

The determination of material properties often involves destructive techniques, such as the application of compression load cycles by losing the study material. In order to solve this problem in obtaining the stiffness properties of construction materials, it is necessary to develop new non-destructive (ND) methods of testing and interpretation of results, especially for viscoelastic materials.
