Autonomous vehicles process the data received from their sensors to recognize the road and the obstacles in their perception module, and determine the desired route via the decision making module. Then, in the path planning module, they plan a path so that the vehicle follows the route while it observes the rules, avoids obstacles, and […]

Embedded software is the essence of our modern computerized standard of living. New functionality drives innovation of products in automotive, medical, avionics, and consumer electronics. To develop such new functionality, programmers must thoroughly test and debug the software until it is working correctly. This project surveys and evaluates current tools for debugging software.

When an individual enters a company, the interaction between the company and individual is expected to increase. If it does not increase to an appropriate extent, the individual leaves the company based on his/her past experience. To avoid huge losses and widespread consequences, a company has no alternative but to decrease its employee turnover rate […]

Most people find it difficult to monitor and manage all of their financial data, due to the time and effort required to track their spending. With the advent of e-finance, instead of barter or cash-based transactions, most transaction data utilizes debit or credit cards. The resulting electronic “paper-trail” opens the possibility of helping individuals to […]

In an alien or possibly hostile environment, the situation awareness of a remote robot operator will be limited. Map information may not be known beforehand. The site may also be in a dynamic state where changes occur in the surrounding in any moment. The main objective of this project is to develop novel technologies to […]

Automatic harvesting of mushroom produce is a promising opportunity for mushroom growers to increase their revenues. This increased revenue will be obtained through savings in human labour as well as the expected increase in yield and quality due to the consistency of automated solutions compared to manual ones. Automated harvesting solutions do already exist for […]

Traditional research microscopy tools are entirely adequate for conventional static analysis, however, the evaluation of more complex dynamic cellular processes require unconventional methods of acquiring, displaying, and rendering dynamic data. Autophagy occurs when some of a cell’s cytoplasm, referred as cargo, is enclosed by a membrane to form an autophagosome in order to be degraded […]

In this project we attempt to research and develop from ground up a scalable distributed computing based recommendation engine using machine learning. A computer science student from the University of Toronto will work with Side Effects Software at their Toronto office to implement the research intensive recommendation engine algorithm and integrate it in the smart […]

The project aims at obtaining new ingredients from concentrated milk, and understanding how changes in their physical and chemical properties may affect their functionality. Membrane filtration processes are widespread in the dairy industry and they are all based on physical separation of the components because of their size. During these processes, the protein particles in […]

Whey proteins in milk are detrimental to the rennet-induced coagulation of milk. In this project, we will use microfiltration membrane technique to concentrate the milk and to remove whey proteins. A process called diafiltration (DF) will also be used to further remove whey proteins by adding water to the MF concentrated milk and then filtered. […]

Aqueous rechargeable lithium battery has received great attention recently due to the less toxicity, lower cost and higher safety compared to the non-aqueous systems. When using the commercially available lithium manganese oxide as active materials, there are demands in suppressing manganese dissolution and graphite consumption in the cathode. As a potential solution to achieve these […]
