The proposed research will develop a reliable analytical method for the quantitative analysis of grain grading factors for Canadian Western Red Spring wheat using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Most commercially available near infrared spectrometers used in agricultural applications require significant expertise, a large footprint, a controlled environment, and are prohibitively expensive. The NIRS technology is […]

NeuroBotIA aims at tackling problematics of manufacturing SME such as the shortage of qualified workers. Currently, Canada is facing a labor shortage of 39% which will increase overtime due to younger generation interest in professional job and population growth decrease. Therefore, NeuroBotIA will develop technology to alleviate labor shortage using intelligent robots. This project aims […]

The purpose of this project is to make use of the AI algorithms to enhance the energy consumption related to indoor heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). The project involves collecting data using wireless sensors network, developing thermal dynamic model of a building, and developing Model predictive control (MPC) solver that reduced the energy consumption. […]

Temporary disruptions in the pedestrian environment, such as construction or snow, make it difficult for people with disabilities (PWDs) to reach destinations in their community. Cities struggle to communicate alternate routes that are accessible to everyone when these disruptions occur. Grounded in a context of data valorization and transfer for the development of smart and […]

A foundation model (FM) is any model that is trained at scale on a broad dataset and can be adapted (e.g., fine-tuned) to a wide range of downstream tasks; current examples include BERT, CLIP and GPT-3. In this project, we investigate the challenges of building foundational models for drug discovery: capturing multi-modal information, explainability, and […]

Une des tâches les plus exigeantes pour les techniciens en conception et fabrication assistée par ordinateur est la création de modèles anatomiques 3D spécifiques à chaque patient. En effet, les techniciens doivent traiter manuellement les scans volumétriques de la bouche des patients pour extraire les modèles 3D des dents existantes et concevoir les dents manquantes. […]

Although most cannabis use is recreational, cannabis is approved for various medical indications. One of most major safety concerns regarding the use of cannabis is its association with mental illness, in particular, induction or exacerbation of psychosis and schizophrenia, suicidal attempts and depression. That said, current available data in the field is based mostly upon […]

L’arthrose est le type d’arthrite le plus courant et une cause importante d’invalidité dans le monde. Avec une population canadienne croissante et vieillissante, la prévalence et le fardeau de l’incapacité devraient augmenter. Heureusement, le risque de développer de l’arthrose peut être réduit et bien qu’il n’y ait pas de remède connu, beaucoup peut être fait […]
