Unmanned aerial vehicle’s (UAV) indoor navigation is becoming increasingly essential for applications such as medical care, search and rescue operations, and industrial management and inspections. Indoor UAV navigation is complex and challenging due to the high dynamic scene, limited space, and, more importantly, the unavailability of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) signals. Recently, two state-of-the-art […]

Shawcor aims to be a leader in the development of sustainable pipelines for the clean transport of fluids at expanded temperature and pressure ratings. There is a significant interest in need to expand the specification of their reinforced thermoplastic pipes (RTP) to higher service temperatures and pressures of 100 °C and 1500 psi. Previous research […]

The proposed project will be a collaboration between the Ottawa (ON) based integrated circuit (IC) company, Power Integrations Inc. and RIGA lab at University of Manitoba. The objective is to reduce power losses and meet international industrial standards for Power Factor Correctors. The result of this research project will assist the company to identify the […]

High-precision metal components, which can be customized upon demand, are key for modern high-tech devices, such as smartphones, sensors, smartwatches, Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications and luxury products. In addition, the medical, dental, and aerospace industries are increasingly demanding high-precision metal components on-demand for their products. Nanogrande (NG) is a Montreal-Based company the develops and commercializes high-resolution […]

Recent advances in sensing, edge-computing devices (e.g., Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, especially deep learning (DL) models for computer vision and speech tasks, together have led to exponentially increasing AI applications in military, civilian and education scenarios. It is widely agreed that AI will be the driving force of the […]

Despite the vast literature that has accumulated around ERP technologies over the years, there is still a great need to better our understanding of the forces at play in the adoption of ERP technologies, and this, particularly in the context of small and medium size organizations. In addition, the field of enterprise architecture (EA) has […]

La robotique collaborative est une condition préalable à l’industrie 4.0. La tendance actuelle est de produire et de programmer des robots qui ont la capacité de travailler ensemble, ou à proximité, avec des humains dans un environnement partagé. La suppression d’une barrière physique (ou virtuelle) pour le robot entraîne de nombreux défis, dont le plus […]

En s’appuyant sur les expertises de Famic Technologies et de ses logiciels de gestion de l’industrie 4.0, ce projet vise à développer des modules de formations immersives à l’industrie 4.0 sous forme de cas de simulation réel.

Kinectrics is seeking to design an uninhabited aircraft system (UAS or “drone) that can lift a robotic power line inspection device and safely place it on the line automatically so it can perform the inspection, then safely return it to the ground after the inspection is complete. The goal is to reduce risks to the […]

From a human factors’ perspective, one of the main differences between controlling a Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), commonly referred to as drone, and piloting a traditional inhabited aircraft is the loss of much direct sensory feedback. It is posited that drone pilots’ situation awareness (SA), a key human factor in aviation safety, is negatively […]
