Considérant leur vie utile, les lampes au mercure offre, comparativement aux lampes à incandescence, un bénéfice environnemental. Cependant, il devient nécessaire de récupérer et traiter les lampes en fin de vie afin d’une part, minimiser les rejets de mercure dans l’environnement et, d’autre part, favoriser le recyclage des sousproduits. Dans ce contexte, le projet vise […]

Vehicles rely on small computers located in various places. The electronic signals sent between these computers must be dependable. However, currently these signals can easily be hacked which threatens the vehicle and the people in and around it. A project is underway, involving Akimbo Technologies Inc., Solana Networks Inc., and the Carleton University Applied Dynamics […]

To further the speed and efficiency of knowledge acquisition from academic works, it would be useful to know, at quick glance, key information from the text. In academic works, key information would include named entities and their relationships, arguments, event descriptions, and topics contained in the text. We propose an automated system to extract the […]

With the advantages of swimming with quiet, compliant, and continuous strokes, soft robot fish have significant potentials to be used in the study of marine life and ocean environment quietly without disturbing marine animals. Our project is to design and build a robot fish that is self-contained and capable of mimicking body kinematics of biological […]

Le présent projet vise l’amélioration des performances des cellules au lithium-ion servant au stockage d’énergie électrique. L’énergie et la puissance des cellules au lithium-ion font parties de leurs propriétés les plus importantes. Une optimisation sera donc effectuée afin de maximiser l’énergie ainsi que la puissance de ces dispositifs. Le travail sera réalisé pour les trois […]

Classical engineering, referring to the three fields of civil, mechanical and electrical engineering, is currently based on traditional working methods. For example, the validation of plans is often done in paper version and the engineer must interpret photos and drawings manually, which introduces a risk of error due to the human factor. In addition, the […]

ShipHaul Logistics aims at developing an Intelligent Freight Services platform towards the digitization, integration and optimization of freight management. The proposed project is the first step to provide the foundations and infrastructure and kickstart the development of the envisioned platform. To this end, we will emphasize evaluation, testing and comparative studies concerning the efficiency and […]

Le projet de détection et de reconnaissance de personnes sur une étendue d’eau permettra de minimiser les pertes humaines en intervenant le plus rapidement possible lors d’une situation d’urgence. Le temps de survie d’une personne à l’eau est très limité, sous certaines conditions quelques minutes et il varie en fonction du port de ceinture ou […]

The growing amounts of metal waste being transported and recycled is a challenging problem. This research project aims to build efficient daily vehicle routes of the reverse logistics problem and collecting metal waste form different points in order to minimize total costs under multiple operational constraints. The reverse logistics vehicle routing problem which combines a […]

The project is designed to verify the performance of Giatec iCORTM hand-held device for non-destructive assessment of deteriorations in concrete structures caused by corrosion. Various laboratory experiments will be conducted using iCORTM at the University of Ottawa on a corroded concrete testing slab. The results will be validates against those obtained by accurate corrosion assessment […]

The increasing complexity of large power distribution networks (PDN) has suggested that real-time monitoring systems (CMS) become crucial for both daily operation and emerging research. Future smart grids are expected to be assisted by but also operate for a vast number of sensor and actuator nodes. Such sensor/actuator nodes will demand a more consistent and […]

This MITACS Accelerate program will support a internships for graduate students in the areas of services and applications using next generation communications, Internet, and cloud computing. The interns will be placed in Canadian telecom and networking providers and vendors and will undertake research projects defined jointly with these partners. The program will prepare graduates to […]
