The primary objective of this project is to develop a way for low-cost service robots to navigate indoors in a more accurate way. To keep costs down, such robots rely on relatively inexpensive encoders and gyroscopes to determine their positions and orientation. However, this leads to the problem of accumulated error while the robot attempts […]

The objective of this project is to create a prototype of a portable External Universal Digital control device using existing technology from EmersonGrow EGX7, the first fully digital LED Grow light. This smart device enables users to control any compatible grow light digitally, including colour, intensity, create stages and light recipe, users can also upload, […]

LifeLike BioTissue has developed a suite of products to assist in the training of medical professionals with highly realistic models that mimic the mechanical properties, feel and anatomy of human body organs and structures. These human tissue phantoms replicate a variety of complex human tissues, supporting surgeons and medical device companies for surgical training and […]

In this collaborative project between L. Goncharova’s group (Western) and Sciencetech (London, ON), silicon, germanium, and tin heterostructure will be grown by thin-film deposition techniques. By precisely controlling the amount of each element in the films, these heterostructures can overcome the poor light adsorption and emission properties of silicon, and will be explored for light […]

While most people gamble for fun, some people suffer harms from their gambling. To prevent people from experiencing gambling-related harm, the gambling industry has put in place responsible gambling programs and tools to help people gamble within their means. However, even with the different responsible gambling tools and information available to players, the use of […]

The project would be a scalable app designed to treat insomnia effectively. This will include educational videos and materials to enable patients to do self-treatment. This should be much more time and cost efficient than traditional treatment, much more easily accessible, and scalable. TranqSleep hopes that the digital platform will be easy and intuitive to […]

Social finance involves investments which seek a measurable social or environmental impact in addition to generating a financial return for the […]

To increase the production of EV chargers to meet market demand, there needs to be advanced engineering solutions and demonstrated knowledge of EV charger testing and performance. More solutions and capabilities will result in greater support for product development. Celestica and the Centre for Urban Energy (CUE) at Ryerson University will collaboratively develop a testing […]

Through decades of mining and oil exploration, over 10,000 contaminated sites are found in Canada with toxic levels of heavy metals and harmful contaminants. In many cases, the contamination is on local farmland and the impacts on the environment and especially on the native communities and Indigenous inhabitants is devastating. This project will be committed […]
