Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become ubiquitous. However, many challenges still need to be addressed to capitalize on their unique capabilities to support the creation of new Internet-of-Things services. The main difficulty is managing a swarm of UAVs in challenging environments. This project focuses on developing and evaluating a new UAV-based persistent surveillance system (UPSS) […]

Virtual reality surgery simulation is an emerging technology in surgeon training to train surgical motor skills in virtual environments. This technology reduces the need for training on patients, cadavers, and animals, and enables objective evaluation of the skill acquisition process in a systematic manner. Although this technology has attracted a great deal of interest in […]

One of the primary challenges of creating robots that can complete useful real-world tasks is providing the robot with the ability to navigate through its environment while avoiding collisions with objects. In order to do this, robotics relies on the use of collision checkers to determine which actions will result in a collision. The time […]

The CAE flight training services and flight simulators provide the future pilots with digital immersion experience and operational support solutions. Currently, additive manufacturing is found to be a valid way to fabricate the cockpit interior components with lower lead time and accelerate the product development. In order to understand the fatigue behaviors of printed component […]

Le présent projet se veut une étude de faisabilité sur l’élaboration d’une cellule robotisée de collaboration entre humain et machine. Le défi est encore plus important du fait de la taille de l’entreprise. Il est en effet rare qu’une entreprise de cette taille (moins de 10 employés) utilise la robotisation pour améliorer ses processus et […]

Research has shown that by monitoring the vibration of the heart using a simple sensor mounting on the human chest, the mechanical characteristics of heart can be measured. The purpose of this research is to design software that can automatically find some important points on the SCG signal. The software will be used to find […]

Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of death in twin pregnancies. A variety of parameters, such as cervical length, maternal medical history, demographics, and obstetric characteristics all have been shown to affect the risk of PTB. However, the relationship is not obvious. Early prediction of PTB in these pregnancies can assist physicians in identifying […]

Les capteurs de gaz à base d’oxydes métalliques connaissent un engouement croissant pour les applications industrielles, militaires et environnementales. ZnO est un oxyde métallique semi-conducteur à large gap direct possédant de nombreuses propriétés physico-chimiques qui sont nécessaires pour les capteurs de gaz de type oxyde métallique. La plupart des capteurs disponibles actuellement sur le marché […]

Today, electronics manufacturing is one of the world’s largest industries, and it continues to expand with the advent of consumer electronics, from smartphones, wearables, electric vehicles, etc. With Industry 4.0 technologies, electronics manufacturers can transform their production capabilities so that they can be more flexible and responsive to dynamic market forces, and smart electronic factories […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à effectuer une analyse rétrospective (statistique) de la qualité de l’eau brute à l’usine de traitement d’eau potable secteur Québec Ville de Québec à l’aide de données historiques sur la qualité de l’eau de source et des événements pluviométriques. De plus, il est envisagé d’utiliser des outils de modélisation à […]

CiviCRM is an open source constituent relationship management system used by over 11,000 non-profit organizations around the world. Although about 170 host more than 250k records, about a quarter are used by small non-profits with between 2,500 and 10,000 contacts. These organizations maintain sensitive personal information including donation information, event attendance, volunteering data, and case […]
