L’automatisation des tâches de fabrication dans les laboratoires de prothèses dentaires revêt un intérêt considérable, à la fois pour les techniciens et pour les patients. En effet, une partie importante du travail consiste en des tâches répétitives, longues et qui exigent un effort de concentration et de minutie soutenu. Par conséquent, il existe une grande […]

This research project aims to expand Symgery’s line of surgical training products by simulating cutting and tearing of physical models in real-time. Cutting and tearing of simulated models typically requires additional computational overhead due to post-processing of the volumetric mesh. However, our approach will render the process to be more efficient by using a hybrid […]

L’usage excessif des plastiques à l’échelle mondiale engendre de grands défis liés au control de la pollution, particulièrement dans les océans, mais aussi au niveau de l’empreinte carbonique de leur production. Dans le contexte de crise sanitaire actuel due à la COVID-19, les équipements de protection personnel sont nécessaires et leurs utilisation, obligatoire, a augmenté […]

Whether it is for research, development or diagnostics, life sciences typically require the quantitation and characterization of samples with assays that classically measure molecules one at a time. Considering that the development and execution of such assays are time consuming and requires considerable investment, the uses of multiplexed analysis would be highly advantageous. Mass spectrometry […]

This project is about better understanding talents and managers to help them reach their professional goals. For professionals, it might be about growing their career, getting their dream job, or finding the most efficient way of getting it. For managers, it might be about discovering interesting talents to join their team, or finding the most […]

Hydro-Québec faces numerous challenges to inspect and maintain its infrastructures. Robotics used for infrastructure inspection can lead valuable gains in efficiency. However, large-scale adoption of inspection robots requires higher autonomy levels, like the capacity to autonomously inspect specific assets. AI-based object detection and localization is a key capability to complete autonomous inspections with robots. This […]

In this project, we propose the use of blockchains to provide reliability, security, and transparency for collecting and querying IoT data in the energy sector. In particular, we will implement and evaluate our blockchain solution for enabling transactions in local energy markets, where homeowners have the capacity to generate energy (through renewables), stock energy (through […]

Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) became ubiquitous in our everyday civilian lives for both recreational activities, such as sports, as well as film and photography. They have also been used in several military operations such as tactical reconnaissance. The prediction of a near future where drones will be used frequently for search and rescue, package delivery […]

Une mission satellitaire lancée en collaboration par l’Agence Spatiale Canadienne et Environnement et changements climatique Canada projette d’envoyer un satellite muni d’un radar à ouverture synthétique en bande Ku en orbite dans les prochaines années. L’objectif de cette mission est d’effectuer le suivi de la neige dans l’Hémisphère nord en utilisant la télédétection radar. Le […]

Les mesures barrières recommandées par la santé publique pour limiter la propagation de la COVID-19 impliquent confinement et distanciation sociale; ce qui accentue l’isolement et la sédentarité des personnes âgées. En situation de confinement, les personnes âgées sont isolées et déconnectées de leurs liens sociaux habituels. Cet isolement social a un impact important sur la […]

Innovation Maritime is providing technical service to the advancement of the marine sector. In partnership with Innovation Maritime, this project aims developing planning optimization tools to be embedded in one of their decision support software for supporting a federal Crown corporation responsible of providing safe and efficient marine pilotage services to vessels transiting in the […]

Having a look inside of the brain helps us understand its mechanisms and can be done using different methods. One particular method used in mice is called fiber photometry which consists of placing small optical fibers inside a particular region of the brain and shoot light through that fiber into it. The different cells in […]
