AI-powered smart glasses for sensing and recognition of human-robot walking environments

The project is to develop an environment recognition system using computer vision and deep learning techniques (i.e., image or video classification of walking environments) and to further develop a functional prototype of an AI-powered glasses. The designed system could achieve high prediction accuracy on real-world visual data and be efficient for onboard real-time inference with […]

Mechanical control of DNA methylation in regenerative cells

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) exposed to stiff environment lose regeneration potential and acquire a scar-producing myofibroblast (MF) phenotype. We published that 4-weeks culture on soft-tissue-like surfaces not only prevents acute MF features but imprints memory that protects MSC from subsequent mechanical MF activation. Epigenetic methylation of DNA by methyltransferases (DNMTs) memorizes MF phenotype in disease. […]

Methodological Framework for BIM-Based Design Automation Script Development and Testing

Building design is complex and challenging and the unique nature of each project limits the ability to automate design tasks. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is commonly to manage building design and collaboration between teams and there is a plug-in (“Dynamo”) that supports task automation. The partner organization has developed several ad-hoc BIM automation scripts, but […]

Effects of Photobiomodulation on cognitive, physical, and cerebral neurovascular function in Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is increasingly prevalent, affecting ~170 per 100,000 Canadians annually. Currently, there is no cure for PD, warranting the investigation of potential new therapeutics. Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a low-level light therapy that has been proposed as an alternative treatment for neurodegenerative diseases, such as PD. However, there is a lack of data regarding […]
