The primary objective of the project is to develop a comprehensive system that enables spatial and color measurements of agricultural fields using imaging sensors. By integrating the data acquired from onboard imaging sensors with GPS/INS sensors, the aim is to enhance the navigation capabilities of harvesting machines. This integration allows for efficient and precise navigation, […]

Les composés per- et polyfluorés (PFAS) sont des composés chimiques très stables qui se trouvent dans de très nombreux biens de consommation courants. Cependant, du fait de leur stabilité, ils s’accumulent et contaminent l’environnement. Ces « polluants éternels » ont un impact néfaste sur la santé et l’environnement. La compagnie E2metrix a démontré que son […]

Anomaly detection of machinery is a crucial aspect of predictive maintenance. It involves monitoring specific parameters related to the machinery’s condition to identify significant changes that indicate a potential fault. Bearings, which are important components in rotary machinery, are responsible for over 40 percent of rotary machinery failures. Consequently, researchers have been focusing on detecting […]

Low-altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight operations are regulated by safety protocols provided by aviation authorities, particularly in the vicinity of crowded airspace e.g. airports. With a fast-growing market for and penetration of commercial UAVs, the possibility of UAV intrusions within controlled airspace is expected to increase, despite these regulations. At lower altitudes, this increases […]

The investigation of the behaviour of cross-laminated timber connections under extreme force combinations is crucial for assessment of the safety of tall timber structures under unexpected circumstances, such as an explosion or loss of structural elements due to fire. Previously gathered laboratory data proved that the novel, more cost-, material-, and time-efficient method is a […]

The proposed project aims to develop an assistive device that helps mitigate crouch gait in people with Cerebral Palsy (CP) by integrating the Bionic Power Agilik system with a tuneable exoskeleton device to explore the optimal knee ankle foot orthosis (KAFO) parameters for ultimate clinical use of the Agilik. The exoskeleton device will enable more […]

Les diagnostiques des troubles de l’apprentissage sont onéreux, soumis à la subjectivité de l’évaluateur, et les délais d’obtention d’un diagnostic sont assez long pour assurer une longue file d’attente. Le projet de recherche a pour objectif de diagnostiquer de manière quantitative le TDAH ainsi que la Dyslexie/Dysorthographie. Pour ce faire, le patient sera soumis à […]

The proposed project studies the noise sources of airplane high-lift devices (HLD) that are responsible for most of the aircraft noise at approach. The latter in turn creates noise nuisances that create health issues to populations close to large urban airports. Two approaches are followed. A state-of-the art simulation that predicts most of the turbulent […]

Cette recherche a pour objectif d’améliorer les connaissances entourant le potentiel énergétique des mines à ciel ouvert abandonnées et inondées. Les mécanismes de transfert de chaleur susceptibles d’affecter la performance des systèmes géothermique seront étudiés. La ressource géothermique de basse température permet non seulement aux utilisateurs de bénéficier de retombées économiques, mais aussi de réduire […]

Building design is complex and challenging and the unique nature of each project limits the ability to automate design tasks. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is commonly to manage building design and collaboration between teams and there is a plug-in (“Dynamo”) that supports task automation. The partner organization has developed several ad-hoc BIM automation scripts, but […]

La barre russe est une discipline de cirque dans laquelle deux porteurs au sol portent une barre, tandis qu’un voltigeur debout sur la barre se propulse dans les airs. Le port de la barre sur une épaule génère une charge asymétrique sur le dos des porteurs et présente donc un risque de blessure au dos. […]

The current Sun Life anomaly detection methods are based on human inspection. The method is labour intensive and only a relatively small number of cases can be reviewed. There is no guarantee that the most suspicious interactions are in fact being sampled and reviewed. In this project we will focus on the develop of novel […]
