This project will explore how eye movements can be used to improve assistive Augmented Reality (AR) devices for people with motor impairments. Many AR systems rely on head, hand, or body movements to make choices, but this is not always possible for individuals with limited mobility. However, eye movement is often preserved, making it a […]

Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions such as back pain and arthritis affect millions of Canadians and place a heavy burden on the healthcare system. Every year, thousands of new research studies are published on MSK health, but the sheer volume makes it hard for organizations to keep track of the latest findings. This project will explore how […]

This project will create a realistic virtual greenhouse where robots can practice picking and pruning. It improves plant physics (bending, fruit detachment), models cameras and depth sensors to produce training data, generates many varied greenhouse scenes, and links simulated robots to Kinova’s control software for end-to-end testing. The result: faster, cheaper R&D, fewer risky field […]

1. Le Service d’interprétation visuelle et tactile (SIVET) offre un service d’interprétation en milieu sociocommunautaire : langue des signes québécoise (LSQ), pidgin, oral support de signes, LSQ tactile (pour les personnes sourdes-aveugles). D’ailleurs, le SIVET est le plus important des quatre services régionaux d’interprétation au Québec et, malgré ses 80 interprètes, refuse en moyenne 120 […]

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are facing an inflection point in their digital journey, with artificial intelligence (AI) emerging as a foundational technology for operational efficiency, customer experience, and strategic differentiation. However, despite increasing awareness, a substantial number of SMEs remain hesitant or unprepared to adopt AI technologies, risking competitive stagnation or decline. This project […]

In Canada and worldwide, health systems are facing tremendous capacity pressures with aging populations putting increasing demands on health services. Caregivers play a vital role in supporting older adults at home. Caregivers often experience distress and burnout and need help navigating the health system. The overall goal of the project is to evaluate the feasibility […]

The proposed Research Plan is to evaluate the active targeting effect of glycan ligands for the delivery of conjugated lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to human bone marrow CD34 + hematopoietic stem and pluripotent cells (HSPCs) and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) such as T cells and B cells. A reporter mRNA will be formulated into […]

Les changements climatiques posent un défi croissant pour l’approvisionnement en énergies renouvelables au Québec. Au-delà de l’hydroélectricité, déjà bien étudiée, des filières comme l’éolien, le solaire, la biomasse, la géothermie et le gaz naturel renouvelable (GNR) demeurent sous-analysées. Pourtant, elles sont appelées à jouer un rôle clé dans la transition énergétique de la province. Ces […]

Draft & Goal (D&G) is a Canadian artificial intelligence (AI) company developing a no-code platform that automates marketing workflows using AI agents for writing, search engine optimization, and fact-checking. The integration of large language models (LLMs) is central to their software solution: it allows non-technical users to harness advanced AI for content creation. However, unlike […]

Mostavio is a Toronto-based aerospace company developing ultralight electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft designed for safe, efficient, and sustainable personal air travel. The company focuses on lightweight structures, automation, and human-centered design to make advanced air mobility more accessible. This project explores the use of augmented reality (AR) to improve how pilots and […]

The proposed project aims to address a critical need for DMT, specifically focusing on the valorization of side streams from furfural production. DMT is currently commissioning a furfural pilot plant and will begin commercial sales soon. However, for the pilot plant to be successful the facility needs to utilize more of the lignocellulosic biomass (miscanthus). […]

Private charter fleets are valuable mobile assets that, when efficiently managed, can generate substantial revenue for operators and owners. A key factor in maximizing profitability is achieving a high asset utilization rate. We propose the development of a large-scale adaptive digital twin for supporting private floating fleet repositioning, routing and matching decisions. The digital twin […]
