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 […]

Le projet consiste à concevoir un système portable pour la mesure de la force des doigts, adapté à la production à grande échelle. Ce système permettra d’étudier la progression physique d’athlètes et de patients issus de centres d’escalade et de cliniques de réadaptation. L’entraînement de la force des doigts, pour des fins de performance physique […]

The City of Montreal desires to evaluate the potential for the implementation of Multi-purpose Utility Tunnel (MUT) within its territory and to assess the overall benefits it could derive from it. This exercise would be initiated by a review of the state of the art to identify the criteria of choice and the associated benefits […]

Domtar Inc. is investigating potential value-added applications for an advanced fiber they produce, which is referred to as SEPF (surface enhanced pulp fiber). SEPF is a key platform material for the development of new value-added, bio-based products from existing pulp and paper manufacturing sites and their forest based supply chains. The main objective of this […]
