Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are receiving significant attention in many communities, including academia, industry, and consumer electronics. SOTI is the world’s most trusted provider of mobile and IoT management solutions and its new aerospace division, SOTI Aerospace is focusing on hardware and software systems to support self-navigating situationally aware aerial drones. This project belongs […]

Everyday millions of customers move through the sales cycles of companies, generating numerous data for potential use. The main objective of the research project is to advance the current state of the art techniques inside the company, with respect to the application of new algorithms on customer behavior data. From a research perspective, access to […]

Organizations have traditionally struggled with asset management as a result of not having a complete picture of the location and state of their physical assets. This is largely because critical information such as how an asset was built and should operate is locked in highly technical diagrams and unstructured documents. Asset Vision is a new […]

Voice of the Customer (VoC) is how companies hear and listen to customer feedback about their brand, products, and services. Voice of the Customer solutions convert gathered feedback into valuable data and insights at scale. Data-driven VoC analytics programs are proven to increase customer lifecycle value and lower customer churn. Companies in various industries including […]

Overhead work is the leading cause of shoulder fatigue and presents a large financial burden to employees and employers alike due to workplace injuries. Interventions must be implemented to reduce the onset of shoulder fatigue and injury. Two interventions are currently being used, overhead cycle time and passive upper-limb exoskeletons. However, little research has been […]

Currently, data analytics services are not only expensive, but also often require days of delay for the data analytics report to be generated. The project focuses on making use of a user’s voice query as an input to create a data analytics response by aggregating data from a database. The successful implementation of the project […]

Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles (AUVs) are systems that are capable of maneuvering in the air, on the ground, above or under the water. There are a number of potential applications for AUVs in civilian, military, and security areas and AUVs have great potential benefits to Canada for numerous reasons. This proposed Mitacs-Alliance project aims to advance […]

Machine learning has ushered many breakthroughs in areas such as computer vision, natural language processing, speech recognition, and recommendation systems. The models used in these applications contain many parameters that need to be learned and training often requires massive amounts of computation. As such in recent years graphics processor units (GPUs) have seen wide adoption […]

The existing approach to building Machine Learning models includes gathering all the data from customers in one place and then running the training procedure using it. However, there are no guarantees personal data won’t be leaked by the one training the model. So, the customers face a difficult decision of either allowing companies to gather […]

Acknowledging that discrimination and prejudice of various sorts (e.g., verbal, behavioural, environmental) continue to exist in the education system, this research seeks to address how and why microaggressions against Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC), within engineering departments, show up among peers in classrooms, across interactions in lab environments, group-activities, and more. This research […]

Due to urbanization in the GTA, many green areas are replaced by impervious infrastructure, preventing runoff infiltration and increasing flood risks. The Meadoway project proposed by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) aims to restore meadow habitats with native plants along a hydro-corridor over 16 km across Scarborough, which can potentially improve the runoff […]

Steam is flexible and very cost-effective in terms of gases that can be used to transfer heat. All steam systems require that the steam arrives at the right quantity, temperature, and pressure for it to work efficiently. The presence of foreign materials such as air, condensate, and other gases can lead to a reduction in […]
