MDA Montreal possesses a niche expertise on a wide variety of high-performance satellite telecommunication antennas. These antennas are exposed to extremely harsh environments. Some panels require a rigid mechanical assembly (i.e., nut and bolt fastening) but must preserve their thermal isolation for the proper operation of the antennas and to limit heat exchange towards the […]

In this project, we would like to study the problem of object manipulation in a real-world scenario. We assume three major settings in the environment – the object is non-rigid, oniy offline dataset is available and the input is high-dimensional images which are hard to be handled by classical control models. Recent successes in deep […]

The Canadian Athletic Therapy association (CATA) is the governing board for athletic therapist, health care professionals who rehabilitate athletes who are injured or in pain. Over-the-counter and prescription medications are often used by athletes as a pain management strategy, although they can have negative impacts on their health if misused. Since Athletic therapists follow athletes […]

The project revolves around reading and understanding students solution to various mathematical problems. We wish to analyse the work done by students and the solution to these problems and provide math checking capabilities to various types of problems. Furthermore, this project looks to construct a virtual tutor that can analyse students work and provide feedback […]

Dynamic pricing models create price by assessing total cost, demand, and timing to customize the price to the moment. The models enable both buyers and sellers to settle a price that is very custom to their specific needs. Bison Transport Inc. has a network model that monitors profit and a pricing engine that monitors margin. […]

The Nexii building system consists of a structural lightweight pre-cast sandwich panel system that attaches to an existing or new base building structure. In an effort to make the panels lighter and improve the building envelope performance, the new generation of Nexii panels use FRP instead of steel framing among several other modification to the […]

Multi-object tracking has many uses cases in autonomous driving, robotics and security. Tracking is important as it allows us reason about the dynamic world and make actionable decisions based-off predicted object trajectories. As an example, in autonomous driving, not only the location of objects is important but also their predicted future trajectories are needed in […]

Surgical Safety Technologies aims to provide healthcare professionals with the opportunity to perform research in areas of surgical performance and education and implement evidence-based solutions to improve patient safety. Search on video content would an ideal functionality to assist with healthcare professionals’ research. This project uses computer vision model to rank the relevance of the […]

The objectives of this research project are (a) to record neuromuscular, cardiorespiratory, and cognitive related data using wearable sensors during running and hopping as two basic activities of many sports; and (b) convert the data to medically meaningful indicators of athletic performance and risk of injury using signal processing and machine learning algorithms. The project […]

High numbers of microplastics are currently present in freshwater lakes, rivers and ponds. Fish are known to mistake microplastic particles for food, then behave differently after eating them. As changes in behaviour are often the first line of defense against human-induced rapid environmental changes, monitoring these behavioural changes can tell us how pollutants, like microplastics, […]

Veyetals online smartphone-based application that can be downloaded through the Apple Store or the Google Play Store. It uses Remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) technique to extract Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) signal from a face video captured using smart phone camera, and then applies multiple computational algorithms to measure heart rate, heart rate variability, oxygen saturation, and […]

Many chemicals can be used for the mix design of concrete 3D printing. With a traditional experimental approach, the number of experiments to conduct is exponential. The objective of this study is to develop a cement-based material suitable for 3D concrete printing applications by utilizing optimization and predictive algorithms. The question to answer is if […]
