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 […]

Additive manufacturing, or three-dimensional (3D) printing, of composites is a grouping of different shaping processes that allows the fabrication of structures through robotic deposition of material by means of a computer model. This technology is a very promising avenue for the implementation of many mechanical and aerospace systems. The research team focuses on the development […]

The aim of this project is optimize and experiment with a type of actuation for a robotic leg where all the motors are attached to the body and their powers transmitted to the joints of the leg witn a dual crankshaft mechanism. This mechanism is envisioned as a possible alternative for one of our walking […]

Additive manufacturing, also referred to as 3D printing, gains increasing popularity in many industrial sectors. Fused filament fabrication is one 3D printing technology that is suitable for a variety of different applications in the field of aerospace, transportation and automotive. One major challenge in implementing this technology at an industrial scale is to guarantee consistent […]

Pharmacovigilance (PV) has evolved and grown more complex over the past 5 to 10 years due to increasing data volumes, evolving regulations, influence of emerging markets and the emerging social media and innovative technological advances. Fast detection of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) could allow the pharmaceutical industry to anticipate and then to control more efficiently […]

Atmospheric water harvesting allows arid regions with low rainfall or unsustainable/expensive groundwater resources to collect fresh water from the air to meet their needs. Typical water harvesting methods rely on a simple principle: humid air is forced through a mesh net, where water condenses and droplets drain away through gravity. However, these traditional approaches face […]

The objective of this project is to develop and customize a cosimulation platform capable of integrating multi-formalism simulators for SG cybersecurity analysis. This enables one to provide a cosimulation platform which is characterized by scalability (no limitation in terms of nodes/buses of communication/power systems), compatibility with the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard and capability of […]

Pour planifier à moyen-terme un système hydroélectrique, il est nécessaire de déterminer une politique de gestion de ses réservoirs, c’est-à-dire la quantité d’eau à utiliser à chaque semaine pour répondre à une demande électrique ou d’autres contraintes. Cette politique de gestion couvre un horizon allant jusqu’à 2 ans et doivent tenir compte de la principale […]

In many real-world applications, robots need communication between each other to coordinate. For the information to propagate, robots need to be connected, i.e. there has to be a communication path between all the robots in a team. We have designed a decentralized connectivity-preserving algorithm and validated using the ARGoS multi-robot simulator. The connectivity-preserving algorithm has […]

A twisting string actuation (TSA) transmission uses wire(s) to transmit power from a motor on one side to a load on the other side. When the motor rotates the wires are twisting themselves, and thus provide a pulling force on the load. The aim of the project is to add to an existing TSA unit […]

Additive manufacturing is an emerging technology that can revolutionize specific manufacturing sectors, but several technical issues related to flowability of metal powders remain to be resolved before its full potential can be achieved. The project aims at better characterizing and predicting the flow behavior of powders used for additive manufacturing, and improving powder flow simulation. […]

Les laboratoires Vaporus, une compagnie québécoise reconnue dans le marché des e-liquides et détentrice d’une certification ISO 9001 :2015, possède un strict contrôle de qualité sur les e-liquides qu’elle fabrique et commercialise. Cependant, la compagnie n’a aucun contrôle sur la fabrication des cigarettes électroniques qui se trouvent sur le marché et voudrait savoir si les […]
