Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) became ubiquitous in our everyday civilian lives for both recreational activities, such as sports, as well as film and photography. They have also been used in several military operations such as tactical reconnaissance. The prediction of a near future where drones will be used frequently for search and rescue, package delivery […]

Asmodee Canada Inc. is a French publisher of board games, role-playing games and card games with one of its warehouses located in Quebec. The warehouse has two segregated sections to fulfil orders of B2B (business to business) and B2C (business to customer). Order fulfilment operations involve manual picking of orders. The project aims to maximize […]

Manufacturing companies are competing on the basis of price, technical expertise and reliability in meeting due dates. In addition, dynamic market environments require more agility from manufactures in terms of achieving high production flexibility and cost effectiveness. The aim of this project is to provide a decision support system for manufactures to effectively plan and […]

This internship is intended to address the need for automation in the saw grinding process for the saw mill operations in Canada. The key issues involve the design of a robotic arm that can accurately load the saw blade to the grinding machine and deliver the finished saw on the output stacks blades to enhance […]

An internship at this organization will give me valuable work experience and allow me to network with professionals in the field. I would offer the partner organization input on their social media presence and their marketing strategies and help them further develop their positioning strategies.

Identifying an optimal routing, that ensures a delivery passage between suppliers and vendors, with a minimum cost while respecting the various constraints (including shortest delivery, availability of fleets and routes, traffic, etc.), could be a challenging task. This is mainly due to the need to solve a combinatorial optimization problem with discrete choices of pathways […]

From December 2021 all the construction projects in Quebec should follow new Draft Regulations Amending Quebec Construction Code. This research investigated the impact of the implementation of section 3 of the new code which relates to the envelope thermal resistance calculation by considering thermal bridges. During phase one the calculation method will be applied for […]

Ce projet consiste à créer une plateforme permettant à des artistes de peindre sur un mur projeté avec leurs mouvements corporels. Ce projet a pour but d’explorer la relation entre les mouvements et l’expression sur canvas. Le stagiaire a l’expérience pratique pour développer l’algorithme d’apprentissage automatique, travailler avec une équipe multidisciplinaire et produire un plugin […]

Explosive growth of social media has transformed how people communicate, interact, and actively express their opinions about different topics. Scrawlr’s unique model for platform management allows extensive freedom for users to generate their content, creating a novel opportunity to evaluate user opinions and network structure. A popular method to analyze online content is sentiment analysis. […]

Ce projet consiste à appliquer des algorithmes d’apprentissage automatique AI pour mettre à l’échelle la vidéo standard (hors ligne et en temps réel) en super-résolution. La plupart des projets de super résolution vidéo actuels ciblent des scénarios d’application hors ligne. Nos projets optimiseront l’algorithme et sélectionneront l’ensemble de données approprié. Tout en prenant en charge […]

Herbivorous insects constitute the majority of our planet’s terrestrial biodiversity, but the species that are best studied are those that are considered pests. This project surveys taxonomic and functional diversity of defoliator communities in both plantations and natural regeneration of white spruce, and relates it to foliar damage and consequences for tree growth. Climate disruption […]

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 […]
