Ce projet vise à révolutionner la conception des comportements des personnages non-joueurs (PNJ) dans le jeu vidéo. Actuellement, les outils d’annotation, utilisés pour définir les déplacements et les réactions, sont souvent trop techniques et basés sur du code. Cette complexité génère une charge cognitive importante et entrave la créativité des designers. Inspiré par les outils […]

Organizations today face increasing difficulty keeping up with cybersecurity and privacy rules such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and Canada’s PIPEDA. Meeting these requirements is often slow, expensive, and prone to human error because compliance checks are still done mostly by hand. To address this, Carleton University and Sabytel Technologies Inc. are working together […]

Les comptes en fidéicommis jouent un rôle essentiel dans la pratique notariale en garantissant la sécurité des fonds confiés par les clients jusqu’à leur affectation finale. Ils constituent un mécanisme de protection du public et de préservation de la confiance envers les notaires. Cependant, leur gestion soulève des enjeux complexes de traçabilité, de conformité réglementaire […]

Social isolation and loneliness are major challenges for older adults, affecting their mental, physical, and cognitive health. This project aims to promote older adults’ social participation in their neighbourhoods and reduce risk of social isolation by collaboratively creating a practical, evidence-based toolkit that older adults can use to develop and lead neighbourhood-based social programs. The […]

Les villes, comme d’autres organisations, cherchent à utiliser l’intelligence artificielle (IA) pour automatiser leurs processus internes et améliorer leur fonctionnement. Mais contrairement aux autres niveaux de gouvernement, les municipalités sont en contact direct avec les personnes citoyennes. Elles doivent donc offrir des services de qualité, rapides et concrets, ce qui complique leur transformation numérique. Des […]

This research project seeks to explore two interrelated, critical questions: “how do States situated along key migration corridors safeguard irregular migrants’ economic rights?” and, more specifically, “to what extent are measures and models to prevent and prosecute labour exploitation and forced labour (incl. through anti-trafficking efforts) effective in practice?” Kondan & Symss Consultancy Inc. is […]

This project aims to develop an AI-driven system that transforms a single still image into a realistic, controllable animated video. Unlike traditional video production, which requires costly filming or manual animation, our approach leverages advanced diffusion models to automatically generate dynamic motion while preserving the original visual details of both characters and text. A key […]

Au Canada, de nombreuses infrastructures souterraines comme les tunnels creusés dans le roc vieillissent et deviennent difficiles à inspecter. Ce projet de recherche vise à moderniser leur évaluation en utilisant des technologies de pointe. En collaboration avec une entreprise spécialisée en géomécanique, l’équipe développe une méthode innovante pour reconnaître automatiquement les structures de soutènement (les […]

SUSTAIN Emerging Leaders will study, document, analyze, and mobilize impacts of a pilot fellowship program for racialized and gender diverse young creatives, created by community partner the Foundation for Leadership, Imagination and Place (FLIP). The OCAD University-based intern will investigate the SUSTAIN fellowship coaching program, to explore how comprehensive durational support, focusing on basic income, […]

Immunotherapy has achieved remarkable responses in cancers that were once fatal. However, Ovarian Cancer (OC) clinical trials have shown disappointing responses with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Our research team is studying how to target the factors influencing interactions between OC and immune cells to improve the treatment of OC. One particular target is the SWI/SNF […]

This project develops a decision-support tool to improve production scheduling at Compass Minerals’ salt plant in Goderich, Ontario. The plant makes multiple grades of salt on connected production lines, facing changing demand and tight operational limits. Currently, schedules are created manually or with simple rules, which limits flexibility and efficiency. We aim to build an […]

Free-ranging horses forage for 16-20 h/d, travel up to 20 miles and interact with conspecifics as they choose. Conversely, domesticated horses are often kept in individual stalls, meal-fed, turned out for short durations and not given a choice with whom they interact. These living conditions challenge efforts to mimic horses’ natural feeding rhythms and balance […]
