This project will extend the Maximal Covering Location Problem with Accessibility Indicators (MCLPA) by incorporating mobile units (MUs) to enhance service areas and optimize accessibility. The proposed Maximal Covering Location Problem with Accessibility Indicators and Mobile Units (MCLPAMU) will consider facilities and MUs with varying service areas and capacities, as well as customer mobility areas. […]

The objective of this project is to create and improve metal-infused filaments for low-cost 3D printers by including recyclable elements. We combine recyclable and bio-based polymers with eco-friendly metal particles, including carbonyl nickel, to provide a durable and sustainable 3D printing material. During the first phase, we produce and test these metal/polymer filaments to ensure […]

The project aims to the improvement of a soft robot dexterity by adjusting its stiffness while performing a task, through an auxetic shell. This project will address current limitations in design and control of these types of robots. By combining the expertise of McGill University and CINVESTAV, researchers will explore auxetic geometries, design and manufacturing […]
