In this project, we will investigate using artificial intelligence to assist farmers and insurance companies by providing information about farms based on our daily observations. AIRM has developed monitoring stations (Crop Sentry) that are installed on multiple farms in Manitoba, allowing us to monitor the crop on a daily basis. Crop Sentry units used lidar […]

Au Québec, les algues brunes sont le groupe d’algues le plus abondant. Ces dernières sont principalement constituées de polysaccharides. Il a été démontré que les algues du Québec contiennent des polysaccharides et des polyphénols ayant des bénéfices sur la santé. Une manière de valoriser ces molécules d’intérêt serait de les extraire pour en faire des […]

There is growing concern from cat owners and veterinarians regarding the dietary macronutrient compositions of commercial cat foods compared to the typical prey of a wild cat and whether this difference is a potential driver for the increased prevalence of obesity in cats. This has resulted in industry trends steering away from high carbohydrate inclusions […]

This research aims at developing a rapid testosterone test kit using lateral flow assay technology, a technology used for example in routine pregnancy tests, but in a quantitative manner that can inform the user of the exact concentration of analyte in the blood sample. The quantification of the assay will be performed by integrating the […]

Innoptech is building VegForecast™, a digital twin platform for vegetable fields that combines rapid drone flyovers with computer vision and 3D reconstruction to deliver field-level insights as maps and KPIs that support scouting, intervention planning, and in-season decision making. This internship aims to deliver a complete AI module for weeds by training a detection and […]

La réhabilitation des systèmes lacustres urbains contaminés en climat froid se heurte à différentes contraintes, tant urbaines que climatiques. Le Lac Osisko est l’un d’eux : soumis à diverses pressions anthropiques, il présente des problèmes importants tels que l’eutrophisation, la contamination des eaux et des sédiments, ainsi que la prolifération d’espèces végétales envahissantes. Les stratégies […]

Current methods for tracking construction progress rely on manual inspections, which are slow, inconsistent, and often dangerous. This research project aims to automate this process using an agile quadruped robot (a “robot dog”) developed by Noûs Technologies. The interns will create a smart navigation system that uses the building’s digital blueprints to guide the robot, […]

This project examines how uninsured migrant parents of babies born in Canada, and their supporters, navigate barriers to registering newborns for provincial health cards. “Uninsured migrants” refers to people who are ineligible for public insurance and lack private coverage or have insufficient coverage. Research shows that hospitals may refuse to register newborns when the mother […]

Strathcona, a neighbourhood in Vancouver, experiences higher air pollution than many other parts of the region as it sits next to major freight routes and industrial areas. Studies have found persistently high levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a pollutant linked to traffic and fuel combustion that can harm human health. While the problem is well […]

(1) Overview of the Research Problem Despite rapid advances in Large Language Models (LLMs), their deployment in professional knowledge-intensive sectors remains constrained by hallucinations and data gravity. LLMs frequently generate plausible but unsupported outputs when applied to specialized corpora, while organizations hold vast quantities of “dark data” embedded in unstructured PDF archives. In archaeology and […]

Current artificial intelligence (AI) agents deployed in enterprise settings make static, one-shot decisions and cannot adapt as context changes or learn from the outcomes of past actions. This research addresses two limitations of enterprise AI agents: (i) the inability to dynamically adjust reasoning effort based on the uncertainty and stakes, and (ii) the inability to […]

This project investigates the resistance of Winnipeg bedbug populations to chemical insecticides and evaluates the effectiveness of locally developed Beauveria bassiana formulations, addressing critical gaps in our understanding of fungal susceptibility and informing the development of targeted, eco-friendly pest control strategies.
