Le projet de recherche concerne le developpemen d’un composite polymere pouvant etre moule dane le procede do roromoulage. Tout d’abord, des tests de feu devront etre prepares affin de s’assurer de la qualite des formulations de resines developpees sans avoir a les faire analyser dans un laboratoire accredite (tres cher). Les tests a developper seront […]

The wall-pressure fluctuations induced by turbulent boundary layers (TBL) can be an important source of noise and vibration in different applications. These fluctuations yield the trailing-edge noise, dominant source of wind turbine or marine propeller noise, and others. A correct modeling of the generated wall-pressure fluctuations is the first issue in analyzing this phenomenon. The […]

A new generation of composites-intensive aircraft designs promises to dramatically accelerate the growth of a market currently valued at more than $7 billion (USD). The objective of this research program is to propose experimental and modeling methodologies to determine endurance limit for damage onset in composite based on fracture mechanics and fatigue crack initiation monitoring […]

Solar panel cost has decreased dramatically over the year, but to fully displace fossil fuels from the power sector panels must further decrease in cost, and must increase in efficiency and durability. TLC is a novel solar panel design that combines high efficiency, high durability and low cost. TLC uses three very-low-cost optical stages to […]

Le projet, affilié au projet CRIAQ UAS MaSu mobilise deux PME canadiennes appuyées par deux universités spécialisées en génie, soit l’Université de Sherbrooke et l’École de technologie supérieure, afin de développer plusieurs concepts et technologies dans le domaine des drones maritime. Les partenaires feront la démonstration à la fin du projet d’un système sans pilote […]

The project will help Optina validate and further develope a novel technology to predict the presence of significant amyloid (A?) deposition in the brain from a simple, non-invasive hyperspectral retina scan in combination with an artificial intelligence algorithm. Accumulation of A? plaques in the brain is a key hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but current […]

Le stagiaire devra ultiliser ses connaissances acquises dans le domaine des composites pour resoudre une problematique de l’entreprise FRE Composites (2005) inc. Celle-ci porte sur le pliage de leurs conduits de composites. La problematique et que lors pliage, il y a parfois creation de rupture du materiau et/ou de flambage local, et que le conduit […]

Hydrogen is often seen as an energy carrier that can support our growing need for greener energy. However, current methods to produce hydrogen are cost prohibitive or generate large volumes of CO2, namely by the combustion of natural gas (NG) to provide heat to the commonly used steam methane reforming (SMR) process. By using established […]

Le DeLeaves est un outil qui permet récolter des branches au sommet des arbres, peu importe leur hauteur, l’espèce ou la densité de la végétation avoisinante. Il décolle de la route ou d’éclaircies en forêt et se dirige de façon autonome vers un arbre présélectionné. L’opérateur procède ensuite à la récolte de la branche et […]

Dans ce projet de recherche, l’organisme partenaire, le Regroupement des Maisons de Jeunes du Québec vise à dresser, avec le soutien de la chercheure principale et de la stagiaire, un portrait des instances régionales de gouvernance dans les 16 régions desservies et à qualifier l’intervention qui se déroule dans les maisons de jeunes afin de […]

The proposed project aims to look at different ways of combining touch and visual stimuli to enhance the awareness of a humanoid robot during interaction with humans. The goal is to have the robot capable of reacting to more complicated forms of touch. For example, allowing the robot to be physically repositioned through different combinations […]

Unlike traditional industrial robots, collaborative robots are meant to be used alongside workers. They can also be taught their task by the workers themselves instead of robotic engineers. This means that these robot have to be inherently safe and be able to properly perceive their environments when performing tasks such as picking parts from a […]
