While drone technologies currently are a very fast-growing market, recent incidents, including mid-air collision with aircraft and obvious risks for people and property when out of control, forced the government of Canada to adopt strong measures to ground all Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) of more than 250 grams. A Special Flight Operations Certificate is now […]

Electrocardiography or ECG is a technology that can be used to monitor the electrical activity of the heart over a long period of time. Such signals can be utilized for interpreting both the structure and function of the heart. Traditional ECG designs consist of several electrodes that need to be placed directly in contact with […]

Ce programme de recherche vise à proposer une approche intégrée permettant aux villes de valoriser les technologies liées à la ville intelligente et aux transports intelligents, ainsi que les données collectées, dans l’optique de répondre aux besoins de déplacements des populations, d’améliorer la sécurité des citoyens et de promouvoir la mobilité intelligente et la logistique […]

To enable the development of self-driving vehicles, an accurate characterization of automotive radar modules under various road or weather conditions is required to ensure reliability is maintained under all circumstances. With this fundamental building-block established, ACAMP will be able to support Canadian technology companies in the development of autonomous vehicles. This project will also provide […]

The objectives of this research project are to design and evaluate scheduling and assignment models to minimize travel costs and maximize the service level delivered for non-emergency patient transportation. This will be done using operations research, a branch of applied mathematics where models of a system are formulated to predict the system’s performance based on […]

Les systèmes de recommandation sont des outils qui permettent aux utilisateurs d’un système de trouver des items qui pourraient leur être d’intérêt. Ces outils permettent d’améliorer les performances marketing à travers l’amélioration de l’expérience client, et cela en limitant le temps de recherche liés à la surcharge d’information à travers une meilleure personnalisation. Les systèmes […]

As consumer preferences shift from shopping at brick and mortar stores to on-line shopping, there is an increased need for warehouses to use automated systems that fill orders quickly and accurately. This research project will design a warehouse robot that is adaptable to different platform systems and shelving configurations, providing a lighter, faster, and more […]

Petroleum contamination in Canada is a major environmental concern. However, remediating petroleum hydrocarbon-impacted soil environments in cold climates, including northern sites, is very challenging and often prohibitively expensive, mainly due to low temperatures (short summer) and remoteness. Bioremediation is the use of microbial populations for degrading and detoxify contaminants and has been considered a cost-effective […]

This study focus on the understanding of radiation-induced embrittlement in CANDU reactor spacer material, Inconel X-750. The helium pre-implantation following by proton irradiation will be employed as a surrogate for neutron irradiation to simulate the radiation damage on the microstructure of Inconel X-750. Micro-tensile test on irradiation X-750 material will be carried out to evaluate […]

Le projet consiste à développer un robot fermier pour un système aéroponique. Le système devra être complètement autonome. Ainsi, il possédera différents capteurs qui devront être intégrés: caméra, capteur d’acidité, capteur de conductivité électrique dans l’eau, capteur d’humidité, etc. Grâce à ces informations, le robot devra se déplacer et effectuer différentes tâches: semence, transplantation, récolte, […]

The intern will work on building power transformers’ aging models based on reliability theories and actual field test data collected using optic fiber based health monitoring technologies. This is part of a novel solution to handle the accident prevention and maintenance for major power and grid equipment. The novelty lies in that the model verification […]

Subject: Concept design is the first phase of the design process, the time needed to make basic decisions that set the specifications for a proposed artifact and begin to determine its ultimate shape. Starting from very general and very high level requirements (desires and needs), a first set of requirements is created; several concepts are […]
