De plus en plus de technologies existent pour capturer un modèle 3D d’une infrastructure existante : drones, robots, caméras spécialisées, etc. Toutefois, les données ainsi produites ne sont pas “intelligentes”, en ce sens qu’elles ne contiennent aucune information sur ce qu’elles représentent, pas plus que les pixels d’une image n’indiquent ce qu’ils représentent. Ce projet […]

Menya Solutions est la division spécialisée en intelligence artificielle (IA) de la compagnie Levio. Menya développe des logiciels pour l’aide à la décision, la valorisation des données, le contrôle automatisé et la vision robotique pour leurs différents clients. Dans ce contexte, des algorithmes de planification automatique sont développés pour doter des robots (ou agents logiciels) […]

Le contexte du projet se situe dans le domaine de l’interaction entre l’humain et les agents autonomes (humanautonomy teaming; HAT), plus particulièrement dans le cas d’usage touchant l’aérospatiale. Thales souhaite étudier les mécanismes pour que ces deux agents (humain et machine) puissent devenir coéquipiers formant un système cognitif conjoint (joint cognitive system). L’étude consiste à […]

The proposed research project will target the assessment of the environmental quality of Osisko lake and the implementation of a mitigation measure for lake restoration. The first master student will work on the evaluation of chemical pollution and the profiling the microbial community existing in the lake. The second master student will be in charge […]

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become a critical energy storage device in various applications, such as portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and grid storage, due to their high energy density and good rate capabilities. Carbon-based materials have been widely used as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Among them, graphite is the most common anode material used […]

Traditional monitoring of fish community using gillnets is a well-established standard but comes with biases associated with selectivity of net sizes as well as significantly mortality of caught fish. Environmental DNA (eDNA) is rapidly becoming the new standard in fish and wildlife monitoring because it is less susceptible to biases, and it eliminates animal mortality. […]

Leach’s Storm-petrel are a small, wide-spread, pelagic seabird that have recently undergone population declines, they are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN and Threatened in Canada. Populations of Leach’s Storm-petrel on the Gaspé Peninsula are very small and known from just two locations. Île Bonaventure, a migratory bird sanctuary and part of the Parc National […]

Rooting in the present and aiming for the future, sustainability development has drawn more and more public attention lately. This proposed project focuses on embracing sustainability measures as the goal of managing hazardous material transportation. In more detail, we target the three pillars of sustainability, namely the economy, society, and environment, and incorporate them into […]

The purpose of this study is to identify sources, locations, and quantities of unutilized marine biomass materials that are available within the province, and to identify opportunities for improving the industry’s utilization of these materials. The inventory assessment will focus on unutilized marine biomass materials generated by the seafood processing sector from landings of commercially […]

The primary purpose of this project is to mitigate phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) runoff from agricultural lands in the Bay of Quinte Area of Concern (AOC) using passive reactors. These reactors are cheap and easy to construct and use waste eggshells as the main reactive material creating a useful product from a waste material. […]

In today’s housing crisis, many low income tenants are unjustly evicted and displaced from their homes. To date, we have very little knowledge of how this happens and what this means to tenants, particularly outside big cities. This project will disseminate research into displacement conducted in four communities across Ontario: Oxford County, York Region, Kingston […]

The CBPPL Company generates five tons of biomass ash daily as a byproduct of generating heat from their boiler. Currently, this waste is disposed of at the local landfill. However, it is acknowledged that the soil in the region is of low fertility and requires correction for agricultural purposes. Therefore, this document proposes a technical […]
