Urban population is facing unprecedented growth resulting in the need for additional agricultural resources. Traditional farming practices seem vulnerable to cater to urbanities’ needs, placing an additional burden on the food and agriculture system. Furthermore, the unsettling environmental impact of traditional farming practices has aroused the metropolitan population to search for alternatives, such as indoor […]

Durant les dernières années, de nouvelles méthodes d’analyse par ordinateur impliquant l’intelligence artificielle ont permis de grandement améliorer notre capacité à interpréter les signaux obtenus par électroencéphalographie pour des applications allant de la santé à la défense en passant par les sports et l’amélioration du bien-être mentale. Toutefois, les avancées dans ce domaine sont aujourd’hui […]

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is useful in multiple applications such as autonomous driving, augmented reality, and surveillance. Visual SLAM is a popular and widely used SLAM technique due to simplicity of the sensor network. Semantics and machine learning are used widely in recent research to achieve better robust real time SLAM performance. Hardware acceleration […]

The proposed project will survey “best-in-class” decentralized water conservation technologies and approaches such as rainwater harvesting systems and greywater recycling systems for use in single family residential dwellings in Canada. The proposed project will also survey all tools and resources provided by water conservation authorities such as CMHC to homeowners, building designers and municipalities. The […]

Since its foundation in 2013, Exonetik has been developing and manufacturing magnetorheological (MR) actuator systems that enable novel functionalities to satisfy unmet customer needs. Exonetik’s patented actuators offer a unique combination of torque-density, high bandwidth, superior back-drivability, low-cost and aerospace-level reliability. To reach its ambitious goals, Exonetik has built several strategic relationships with major OEMs […]

The performance of an industrial electroplating line is evaluated using the First Pass Yield (FPY). Improving the FPY of an industrial electroplating line is complex and depends on lots of environmental and technical parameters. These parameters have different nature that makes it hard to assess the interaction between them and consequently to detect the causes […]

Scispot is on a mission to help life science companies including Canadian biotech companies automate and digitalize their lab processes while keeping track of all of their resources (samples, inventory, equipment, etc.). The goal of this project is to improve and grow our platform to support as many life science companies as possible. This project […]

Combining Building Integrated Photovoltaic / Thermal (BIPV/T) system and Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) with a thermal storage potentially can increase the efficiency of the heat pump and therefore reduce cost of heating and cooling for the building. In addition, this system potentially can reduce the GHG emission. A hollow core concrete floor can be […]

Electric vehicle adoption is well past the tipping point in Canada and the world, and although the demand for electric vehicles is no longer a question, the supply chain for electric vehicles is still very much in doubt. One key element is the ability to supply electricity to support the charging of the vehicles, and […]

Global warming is a well-known global phenomenon that has been in the headlines for the past few decades. Greenhouse gases (Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Carbon Monoxide, etc.) are the major contributors to global warming and several governments have been working towards limiting such emissions by introducing emission guidelines. Carbon Dioxide is the gas of interest in […]

Climate change is one of the most urgent and pressing issues facing society. In order to meet aggressive greenhouse gas emission targets, the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (known as Direct Air Capture, DAC) is required. However, once captured, the CO2 must be purified from the capture solution before it can be used […]

This research project will develop new methods for detecting space debris, communication signals, and moon dust equipped on spacecraft and satellites to be launched in the future. One of the major concerns with equipment orbiting Earth is the possible collision with space debris. Also, a lunar outpost equipped with the Canadarm3 is planned for completion […]
