La manipulation d’objets translucides et/ou déformables demeure un défi important pour les robots d’aujourd’hui et cela limite significativement le potentiel d’automatisation d’une panoplie de procédés industriels. Par conséquent, les petites et moyennes entreprises qui composent avec de telles pièces sur leurs chaînes de montage doivent souvent se fier sur des opérateurs humains pour manipuler et […]

The Optical Transport Business Unit of Lumentum Operations LLC is an Ottawa-based R&D operation with interest and experience in the design of Wavelength Selectable Switch (WSS) products for application in optical fiber communications networks. The performance and cost-effectiveness of WSS devices depends on epoxy technologies; epoxy is used to fix free-space optical components in highly […]

This internship will contribute to the market research and go-to-market strategy development of the Marine Way app, a citizen science mapping mobile application that will help combat the global ghost gear problem. The resultant outcome of the internship is expected to contribute to the establishment of a company and the future publication of the mobile […]

The proposed research project is set out to raise an awareness in the Black hair community and Black communities in Halifax and Canada by extension as regard the natural hair industry and what she can offer. I believe the afro texture hair is quite different from every other hair type out there and it is […]

Internationally, school food programs (SFPs) are one of the most successful drivers of improved health, education, and economic growth. Yet, Canada is among the minority of countries without a nationally harmonized SFP. This project involves the creation of research briefing notes on key areas of impact of SFPs to support the Coalition for Healthy School […]

The principles of lean engineering design are well documented for the automotive industry – where they have served to revolutionize the efficiencies of North American manufacturing operations. Lean engineering has subsequently been transferred into other sectors – where it continues to generate impressive results. The aerospace industry is faced with demands for efficiency of operations, […]

More and more small and medium enterprises these days rely on continuous cash flow for the survival of their business. Current pandemic has made their survival with reduced business activities worse by relying on government support and brought down many businesses creating domino effect of joblessness and adverse economic impacts. The overall goal of this […]

PARP inhibitors are an FDA-approved treatment for breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. This project aims to develop 3 new classes of PARP inhibitors, 2 of which can target multiple pathways with a single drug, helping to prevent resistance to the PARP inhibitors and enabling the combination of 2 drug treatments without the added side effects […]

Le projet proposé vise à améliorer la reconstruction 3D des villes à partir des photographies aériennes et des données lidar, et plus particulièrement en combinant ces sources d’information. Des algorithmes d’intelligence artificielle, et plus particulièrement les réseaux de neurones convolutifs, seront utilisés pour améliorer la densité des nuages de points lidar pour la reconstruction 3D, […]

Simulation is a critically important enabler for the scalable verification and testing of Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems. There has been considerable research in recent years on developing IoT simulators. The existing research nevertheless does not adequately address the optimization of simulators for the competing objectives that one typically has to contend with, e.g., in terms of […]

Unlike the United Sates or the UK, Canada is a laggard in opening up historical socioeconomic data for use by academics, policymakers, business, journalists, and citizens. While a great deal of data exists either due to being “born digital” or having been digitized from paper records, it is not easily accessible. Partial datasets in a […]

Each planting season, farmers are exposed to the uncertainty that their crops will yield poor results, leading to unpredictable revenue. The seasonality of their product lends itself to price volatility as a result of unpredictable factors such as weather, pests, supply and demand. In an industry where small price fluctuations can have a big impact […]
