The research project entails finding a method to detect corroded steel wires used in the manufacturing of tires at Michelin in Bridgewater. This would be achieved using methods that are proven safe for humans and the environment. Also, the detection equipment will be integrated in the existing Michelin facilities in Bridgwater, NS, Canada.

Infectious diseases from a variety of pathogens can lead to serious health conditions such as sepsis. To improve the prognosis and decrease the mortality rate of infectious diseases, point-of-care testing (POCT) of blood biomarkers is a critical approach. Testing of biomarkers such as C-reactive protein, IL-6 and procalcitonin could help identify the type of pathogen […]

The proposed project will develop a system that combines ambient environmental sensors with sleep detection methods to measure sleep quality and allow the user to improve their focus during activities of their daily lives. Observing sleep patterns through all the stages of sleep to model the users body clock and quality of sleep. In addition, […]

Small mammals (mice and voles) are a vital component of most terrestrial ecosystems; however, their communities have not been studied on large geographic scales because of limits imposed by conventional sampling methods (i.e., trapping). This project will take advantage of great-horned and burrowing owls as efficient surveyors of small mammal comunities. Specifically, small mammal community […]

Structurlam Mass Timber Corporation (SMTC) is a renowned Canadian company for its quality mass timber products and ability to fabricate complex design. The company developed a new type of composite glulam as a structural element. Extensive experimental investigation in collaboration with Dr. Alam and Mr. Peng at UBCO revealed the future potential of this composite […]

The requirements of this project would be to determine the optimal orientation of the display screens and visor with respect to the user’s eyes. In order to do this, the person undertaking this project will be required to gain an understanding of existing augmented reality systems, how they work, and how their application can be […]

This project aims at investigating the effect of communication constraints on cooperative manipulators. Afterward, the communication constraints will be detailed modeled, based on that the control strategy specifically for the multi-robot system will be developed. The stability of the system under the designed control strategy should be guaranteed, and the performance regarding the execution of […]

Le projet de recherche entrepris dans ce stage vise à établir une méthodologie pour caractériser des pastilles supraconductrices en fonction de l’angle d’un champ magnétique appliqué. Avec l’aide du magnétomètre géant du groupe de Philippe Vanderbemden, l’aimantation d’une pastille supraconductrice plongée dans un champ peut être déterminée pour obtenir sa densité de courant critique, une […]

The current feedstock of en-life high impact polystyrene (HIPS) is currently impossible to be valorized and recycled due the presence of brominated fire retardants (FRs). The presence of those FR´s is consequence of the need from the electronic industry to compile with the security regulations. However, now those brominated compounds are to be banned due […]

The aim of this research project is to improve the design of one of our robotic leg (see https://youtu.be/2zo5aSJEjhY). This leg is able to mechanically adapt its walking pattern in reaction to a collision without any sensor or high-level control. The objective of this research internship is to update the mechanical design of the leg […]

Au cours des cinq dernières années, les systèmes de perception embarqués dans les véhicules intelligents deviennent moins dispendieux et donc plus populaires pour les applications de conduite automatisée. Ils permettent à la fois de détecter les obstacles, d’estimer leur distance relative par rapport au véhicule, de les classer et de suivre leur déplacement relatif en […]

The Mobile Robotics and Autonomous Systems Laboratory of Polytechnique Montréal is specialized in drone development and applications. The intern will join the team in charge of developing a payload transport system with drones. IN this research work we will develop a simulation environment, validate the different control strategies in the simulation environment and implement the […]
