The work proposed will lead to mechanisms for reducing or eliminating selected Cognitive Biases – automatic, unconscious elements of the human reasoning system known to cause decision errors. While Cognitive Biases have been studied for decades, there has been almost no research into how to reduce or eliminate their effects. The end goal of the […]

This project aims to obtain detailed information on how a potential Alzheimer drug helps to inhibit the formation of the toxic species associated with the disease. Utilizing magnetic resonance technologies, we seek to characterize how the drug fits into the toxic species. The steps consist of making the toxic species, combining it with the drug […]

Le passage des entreprises à l’industrie 4.0 à pour but de propulser la productivité, réduire considérablement les coûts de production et d’améliorer grandement la qualité des produits. Le projet a pour but de démontrer à l’entreprise partenaire que l’utilisation de modèle prédictif d’apprentissage machine afin de prédire un indicateur de performance (KPI) de ligne de […]

Considérant leur vie utile, les lampes au mercure offre, comparativement aux lampes à incandescence, un bénéfice environnemental. Cependant, il devient nécessaire de récupérer et traiter les lampes en fin de vie afin d’une part, minimiser les rejets de mercure dans l’environnement et, d’autre part, favoriser le recyclage des sousproduits. Dans ce contexte, le projet vise […]

Vehicles rely on small computers located in various places. The electronic signals sent between these computers must be dependable. However, currently these signals can easily be hacked which threatens the vehicle and the people in and around it. A project is underway, involving Akimbo Technologies Inc., Solana Networks Inc., and the Carleton University Applied Dynamics […]

To further the speed and efficiency of knowledge acquisition from academic works, it would be useful to know, at quick glance, key information from the text. In academic works, key information would include named entities and their relationships, arguments, event descriptions, and topics contained in the text. We propose an automated system to extract the […]

Northern Shrimp (Pandalus borealis) and Greenland Halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) located off the east coast of Nunavut (Arctic Canada) are currently harvested by factory freezer vessels using bottom trawls. This fishery is a major contribution to the territory’s economy. However, bottom trawling is not without its ecological impact. Bottom trawl’s footgear, located below the fishing line […]

With the advantages of swimming with quiet, compliant, and continuous strokes, soft robot fish have significant potentials to be used in the study of marine life and ocean environment quietly without disturbing marine animals. Our project is to design and build a robot fish that is self-contained and capable of mimicking body kinematics of biological […]

Le présent projet vise l’amélioration des performances des cellules au lithium-ion servant au stockage d’énergie électrique. L’énergie et la puissance des cellules au lithium-ion font parties de leurs propriétés les plus importantes. Une optimisation sera donc effectuée afin de maximiser l’énergie ainsi que la puissance de ces dispositifs. Le travail sera réalisé pour les trois […]

Classical engineering, referring to the three fields of civil, mechanical and electrical engineering, is currently based on traditional working methods. For example, the validation of plans is often done in paper version and the engineer must interpret photos and drawings manually, which introduces a risk of error due to the human factor. In addition, the […]

Waterloo Region is facing an acute housing crisis across the housing continuum. Waterloo Affordable Housing Living Lab (WAHLL) is an applied research collaborative aimed at understanding the local housing system to better enable investment in sustainable solutions. WAHLL is comprised of the Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation (KWCF), Union: Sustainable Development Co-operative (Union Co-operative), and University […]

ShipHaul Logistics aims at developing an Intelligent Freight Services platform towards the digitization, integration and optimization of freight management. The proposed project is the first step to provide the foundations and infrastructure and kickstart the development of the envisioned platform. To this end, we will emphasize evaluation, testing and comparative studies concerning the efficiency and […]
