Le stage s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une thèse de doctorat réalisée au sein de l’équipe S4M du LAAS-CNRS portant sur le « Développement et mise en place d’un système de surveillance, d’alerte et d’accompagnement motivationnel pour le maintien à domicile des personnes âgées ». Le stage portera sur l’identification et la détection des changements de […]

Securing autonomous vehicle environments has recently become a hot topic for both industry and academia due to the significant safety and monetary costs associated with security breaches of such environments. This requires different approaches to address the challenges and propose potential solutions at multiple levels of these environments. To that end, machine learning (ML) and […]

Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boats (RHIB) are one of the most versatile Inshore boats. These are the vessel of choice for law enforcement, rescue, security, Naval Forces and multiple marine industry and science sectors. The cost of fuel always impacts budgets, operations, and the ability to adapt to an ever-changing economy. To reduce carbon and other […]

This project deals with the development of a new mathematical model and a fast solution method to optimize the multi-calendar naval surface ship refit scheduling problem with resumable and non-resumable operations. The Naval Surface Ship Work Period Problem (NSWPP) is a highly complex resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) with many work orders that are equivalent […]

L’utilisation de plusieurs petits satellites à faibles coûts envoyée en orbite plutôt qu’un seul comporte de nombreux avantages, autant au niveau financier que logistique. Cependant, le placement sur les bonnes orbites de ces petits satellites amène un problème important, soit la conception d’un système de propulsion assez puissant, compact et à faible coût. C’est l’objectif […]

An early-stage design analysis methodology will be investigated for evaluating preliminary building envelope design alternatives using advanced computation and analysis tools. Design alternatives will be generated based on different envelope materials, structure, insulation types and window-to-wall ratios and evaluated based on selected metrics including energy use, daylighting, life cycle analysis and life cycle costing. A […]

L’épuration des eaux usées par biofiltration est de plus en plus fréquente en raison de la compacité et des performances épuratoires de ce procédé. L’implantation en usine de ce type de traitement est bien connue, mais la manière de l’opérer reste à perfectionner. C’est au niveau des pertes de charge que le bât blesse; la […]

The current project aims at designing a soft-robotic wearable glove which is applicable for rehabilitation of patients with loss of motor function in one or both hands. The wearable glove takes advantage of a set of different fluid-driven actuators. In order to design the actuators, flow control technique and also combine a set of actuators […]

Willowbank Centre for Cultural Landscape will work with a University of Waterloo student to engage in an emerging process of building disassembly and material reuse. Demolishing a building and sending the debris to landfill sites is a huge loss of resources, energy, and historical value. This project becomes a prototype on how to reuse building […]

Actuellement les prothèses d’épaules dites inversées sont préconisées dans le cas de coiffe des rotateurs endommagée. Ces prothèses assurent la stabilité de l’articulation, mais limitent la mobilité articulaire, notamment en élévation du bras. Pour pallier cette déficience, Statera Medical propose un design de prothèse innovant avec un degré de liberté additionnel. Ce concept de prothèse […]

The COVID-19 pandemic has abruptly and undoubtedly changed the world as we knew at the end of the second decade of the 21st century. Of particular interest to this research program is development of advanced autonomous screening (thermographic and cognitive) systems via integration of signal processing and deep learning models to address the following three […]

In this proposal, we intend to answer how infrastructure sensors can be used for autonomous driving. Using infrastructure sensors make automated driving safer, more simplified, and cost effective especially for multiple autonomous vehicles operating in known environments such as large residential/commercial complexes and resorts. Infrastructure sensors replace the main onboard vehicle perception sensors with infrastructure […]
