The objective is to develop a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm to be implemented on the tractor-trailer type vehicle used in the AIS called a Cart Puller. This vehicle is to work fully autonomously in a nursery farm, while carrying planted pots (loaded onto the plant carts) toward their loading stations. By using SLAM, […]

Machine learning, specifically deep learning, for face recognition applications has advanced significantly over the past 20 years [ref: science direct survey on deep based facial recognition]. There are many deep learning concepts pertinent to face image analysis and facial recognition, and there is active research in outstanding problems ranging from effective algorithms to handle variations […]

With the growth of the social networks and mobile gaming devices in recent years, the social gaming became an important part of the game industry. These social games provide huge amount of data about the users’ behaviors, an important issue for the gaming companies is to analyze this data and model the choices and behavior […]

AIS Inc. is at the forefront of developing practical mobile robots for various markets. Mobile robots are considered as very complex systems comprising of hundreds of interacting components in complex system architectures. Developing such complex robotic systems, particularly in large scale, requires a coherent collaboration and engagement on various specialized areas such as scientific research, […]

V7 is seeking to advance its innovative rapid prototyping tool FiX (Flash-in-XNA) – a core piece of its game engine toolkit for Xbox360, PC, and Windows 7 Phone platforms. The tool allows designers and artists to build assets in Flash/Actionscript and bring them into an XNA platform.

In Computed Tomography (CT), X-ray radiation is used to penetrate through the internal structure of the patient body in order to produce digital images. This means patients could be exposed to certain level of X-ray radiation dose. Accumulation of these exposures beyond certain threshold could increase risk offatal cancer. Thus it is of paramount importance […]

Nuclear medical imaging relies on the detection of radiation that is emitted from the body after a radioactive isotope that has been fused to a disease targeting molecule (aka radiotracer) is administered to the patient. For example, positron emission tomography (PET) scans can be used to image and diagnose disease in the body with extremely […]

The proposed R&D is a part of larger project currently developing by Unity Integration Corporation on intelligent lighting systems. This project is consisting of different parts such as wireless motion detectors, wireless ambient light sensors, control systems, predictive software and web-based user interface. The proposed R&D mostly focuses on the development of a gateways embedded […]

Automatic speech recognition (ASR)-based services have become an indispensable part of our daily life, thanks to products such as Apple Siri, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. More and more smart home appliances are also controlled by voice. However, most of these services rely on speech recognition and natural language understanding services running in the cloud, […]

By studying Keegan Resource’s social partnership building process in Ghana, this project aims to develop a community development framework for junior mining companies in Canada. By analyzing results obtained from semi-structured interviews and observation from partnership meetings, the framework will identify key success factors that can aid partnership development with the aim of maximizing the […]

The research would evaluate the existing financing options for home building in the first nation community. It would also look at the viability of using alternative finanCing vehicle for channeling private equity from the various markets. This research hopes to provide the First Nations communities with the necessary financial tools to leverage the existing equity […]

This project is a collaboration between researchers from the Simon Fraser University and industry partners, Lifelike & Believable Animation Design and Animatrik Film Design. Its goal is to research and develop machine learning techniques for capturing and analyzing movement data in real-time to support the world’s first immersive in-game 3D simulcast of a live, real-time […]
