Agricultural water management, being a critical area in accordance with the freshwater consumption rate, should be regulated with the help of emerging cutting-edge research. Recent research proves that precision technologies significantly reduce the agricultural input cost for the farmers thereby increasing their net revenue at the end of harvest. Technologies such as AI, remote sensing, […]

Founded in 2019 in Montreal, Eyful is a young start-up at the juncture of technology and medicine. Our mission is to help people with retinal diseases regain their independence by enhancing and assisting their vision. More specifically, we have been working for the past two-years on assisting patients suffering from aged- related macular degeneration (AMD), […]

Le but du projet proposé est d’optimiser la structure des programmes d’accompagnement aux entreprises du Centech, en particulier les programmes Accélération et Propulsion. Ce projet contribuera au positionnement stratégique du Centech comme incubateur offrant un service exceptionnel à ses entreprises et contribuera à son rayonnement international. Le projet proposé devra répondre aux questions suivantes : […]

McMaster University is collaborating with National Research Council Canada (NRC) under the AiP program of NRC, to develop smart textile technology that will integrate energy components into textile wearable products to provide daily and on-demand physical stimulus to the aged wearers. It aims to slow down or prevent the development of age-related health problems. The […]

This project supports comprehensive investigation of arsenic contamination in the aquatic ecosystems in Canada. The project aims to provide a framework/guideline to predict probability arsenic contamination in different area. This will be through appling AI and ML modelling approaches by considering geo-environment and hydrochemical predictor variables. The MITACS support will be used to hire a […]

Industrial robots are known for their speed and power. Collaborative robots, by their definition, require more delicate movement to work alongside human workers. We propose work that will support future product launches by combining advanced trajectory generation for smooth operation and increasing component life by minimizing acceleration and jerk, while also reducing operation cycle times. […]

The issue of removal of CO2 from diluted streams is challenging due its low concentration which makes the cost of capture significantly high. The development of material that has high CO2 capacity at low concentrations can help to decrease the overall cost of CO2 capture. The novel approach in the design of solid sorbents proposed […]

Developing new high performance steels using pilot scale facilities such as those available at CanmetMATERIALS laboratory in Hamilton is more efficient and cost effective than using industrial lines. However, some recent projects carried out for Stelco Inc revealed unexpected discrepancies between pilot scale results and real industrial data. The aim of this project is to […]

There are zones of contaminated sediment along the Cornwall waterfront in the St. Lawrence River that were identified in the Cornwall Sediment Strategy (CSS). In addition to the existing contaminated sediments accumulated over time in the river bed, there are contaminated sediments that enter the river from other sources such as wastewater sewer systems. It […]

Water infrastructure and supply service in Canadian small, remote Indigenous (SRI) communities are facing various challenges, including long-term water quality advisories. A water infrastructure risk assessment system is much needed to help identify critical nodes that are prone to cause failure in the entire water supply service chain, ranging from pre-project planning to water service […]

Les technologies liées aux systèmes d’aide aux prises des décisions dans des navires intelligents ont atteint un niveau de maturité élevé dans les dernières années. Pendant ce temps, les navires autonomes et sans pilote ont aussi été largement étudiés en parallèle aux véhicules autonomes, comme les chargeuses autonomes dans les mines. Bien que la technologie […]

The number of people requiring indoor navigational assistance (e.g., blind, elderly people) is increasing rapidly all over the world. People often get lost in complex places like hospital buildings. Unfortunately, the GPS service is not available indoor. The main objective of this project is to develop a robust and fast navigational technique based on continuous […]
