Manitoba has an opportunity to transform agriculture practices through advances in sensors, robotics, and machine learn-ing. Real-time, automated methods of in-field data collection are needed to increase productivity and sustainability in production agriculture, to expedite plant breeding and research, and to further the uptake of organic farming. To this end, we are developing a self-propelled, […]

The data gathered will be transformed […]

On the former floodplain of the Mamquam River in Squamish, British Columbia are a series of side-channels that were constructed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada in 1983-1996. These channels were built to restore some of the side-channel habitat that was lost following the dyking of the Mamquam River mainstem for flood protection. […]

This project will use state-of-the-art advancements in artificial intelligence in order to automate and enhance the creation of virtual environments in virtual and augmented reality. By building upon previous successes incorporating artificial intelligence into the creation of 2D environments to enhance and guide the algorithmic generation process. By allowing the incorporated AI to respond and […]

In this mixed-methods study, we aim to identify specific experiences and institutional barriers that prevent recent immigrants from engaging with and participating in municipal elections in the city of Calgary, Alberta. Using a systematic literature review and data from focus groups and in-depth interviews in Calgary, we will first develop a list of the concrete […]

PenderFund is a small and growing mutual fund company in an industry facing rapid changes. In order to thrive in the industry, the company needs to become more sophisticated in its sales and marketing techniques. In order to move to its next phase of growth, Pender must first investigate and determine what it stands for—finding […]

Le Lubrium est un polymère synthétique mimant l’activité d’une glycoprotéine naturelle, la lubricine (protéoglycan-4), qui est présente à différents endroits du corps humain, notamment à la surface des cartilages des articulations. En effet, l’arthrose est une pathologie très handicapante ayant un développement progressif avec des prévalences respectives de 20% (7 millions de cas) et 26% […]

Insects are a key component of ecosystems, economies and human cultures. The Montreal Insectarium seeks to connect the public to nature through engagement with insects, implementing educational programs and citizen science-based research to encourage their conservation. Charismatic species such as praying mantises are instrumental in this context, fostering knowledge of and positive attitudes towards insects […]

Effective wastewater treatment is essential to the health of the environment. When operating wastewater treatment plants, utilities must ensure that the treated water meets environmental regulations, while balancing competing needs to minimize the cost of running the plant against the maximizing resource recovery. Additionally, most wastewater treatment plants include a combination of physical, chemical, and […]

Traitement d’images collectées avec des drone par des algorithmes de classification et de segmentation par modèles d’intelligence artificielle. L’objectif du projet est d’automatiser la détection de caractéristiques dans l’image et de convertir ces données en données géographiques. Ce projet permettra de réduire le temps nécessaire pour procéder à l’analyse de données aériennes afin de produire […]

L’objectif de ce projet est de tester et valider un code de mesures de déformation par corrélation d’images numériques (digital image corrélation en anglais, DIC en abrégé). Cette technique permet d’évaluer les déformations en surface que subit une pièce sollicitée mécaniquement, de façon à prédire son comportement en service. Le principe de la corrélation d’images […]

NeoSpina Health Care Inc intends to contribute to unprecedented treatment techniques for LBP by developing a novel medical device and investigating acquired data from treatment procedures. Accordingly, the main objective of this project is to develop a non-invasive robotic device to treat a wide array of spinal conditions while reducing the treatment duration compared to […]
