La robotique collaborative offre de nouvelles possibilités d’automatisation particulièrement intéressantes pour exécuter des protocoles complexes de biologie moléculaire en utilisant des instruments conventionnels en laboratoire. Ceci permet d’automatiser des protocoles impossibles ou difficiles à l’aide de plateformes robotiques habituellement employées en sciences biologiques, en utilisant plutôt un bras robotique UR3 offrant une liberté de mouvement […]

We have identified three objectives for this intern to complete during the project. Objective 1: Create and execute a digital reach and content strategy Objective 2: Grow audience by 25% through the execution of strategic media engagement Objective 3: Research and write a case study white paper reflecting academic research on our product design mechanisms.

Ce projet de recherche mené avec notre partenaire, l’Association Québécoise pour le Loisir des Personnes Handicapées vise à développer une classification de l’accessibilité de sentiers naturels (urbain) en partant d’indicateurs qualitatifs (motivation, attentes, besoins, satisfaction, équilibre défi-compétence, etc.) et quantitatifs (capacité fonctionnelle, force, endurance, etc.). Le présent projet se structure, d’une part, autour d’une démarche […]

The last twenty years have seen whirlwind advancement in production of metallic parts via additive manufacturing (AM). This technology has surpassed its origins in manufacturing titanium parts; additive manufacturing is now applicable to a vast range of alloys, including stainless steels. The principal advantage of constructing parts layer by layer is to afford the capacity […]

Every year, all planes must be deiced prior to airbourne when outside temperatures hit the cold seasons (fall to spring), in order to ensure a safe takeoff. Currently, trends in the deicing industry are still leaning towards having all operation informations logged down on paper slits. This approach is consuming in terms of time, material […]

North America is about to experience the greatest wealth transfer in human history. Estate planning and settlement can be enormously stressful and cumbersome processes involving lawyers, accountants, trust services, and loads of paperwork–often when least expected. The time and financial burden of planning or settling an estate presents a demanding problem to the average Canadian […]

The field of responsible investing is rapidly expanding, with even greater attention on the importance of responsible investment in 2021, as seen in the aftermath of the hugely impactful COP26 summit. Directing our financial resources in a sustainable direction has the potential to have a massive impact on helping us meet the Sustainable Development Goals […]

Le secteur biolimentaire québécois doit faire face à des problématiques de concurrence internationale forte, de manque de relève, de rendements non-optimaux et d’un besoin urgent de réduire son impact environnemental. La littérature scienti-fique met en évidence l’importance d’une transition numérique du secteur, soit l’utilisation des nouvelles technologies, qui permettrait au secteur d’améliorer ou résoudre ces […]

We are witnessing the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) which provides ubiquitous sensing and computing capabilities to connect a broad range of things to the Internet while connecting people and spaces. That opens a wide range of opportunities to foster user-centered service, improve safety, and well-being. Intelligent IoT-based solutions have been shown […]

Les champignons produisent une panoplie de molécules qui ont des utilisations multiples dans plusieurs domaines tel que dans l’industrie agroalimentaire, les applications environnementales via la biodégradation de déchets et rejets industriels, et la médecine. Des composés issus de plusieurs champignons ont démontré une capacité à inhiber des virus et des bactéries, ralentir des maladies neurologiques […]

Sustainable finance is a rapidly evolving discipline, where investors are in the process of acquiring and developing new tools allowing them to evaluate the sustainable impact of the companies they choose to invest in. Public companies have adopted the practice of publicly disclosing ESG-related information under the form of public reports following ESG disclosure frameworks […]
