Skills for Living: Adult Autism Peer/Skills Intervention and Evaluation

Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) struggle with social outcomes in friendship, life, and career domains yet programming to address these barriers to work and life outcomes are limited for adults. To address some of these needs, the Principal Investigator and a student team developed a consumer-driven program) to provide Winnipeg adults with ASD an […]

Parallel Operation of Grid-Forming Inverter Systems Considering DC-Side Dynamics

Renewable energy resources such as wind and solar power are often tied to the grid using dc-ac power-electronic converters. Unlike large power plants, these sources of energy have a dispersed nature, i.e., they are comprised on many small units that are operated in parallel to form a large power plant. This project deals with investigating […]

Vision-based 3D object localization for manufacturing applications

The industrial scale manufacturing automation largely works because of robotic systems which are preprogrammed to reliably carry out the same sequence of steps over and over again. As a result, when scenarios change, or become more complex, robotic systems need to be re-programmed. Moreover, in high value added manufacturing applications, it is impractical to program […]
