Currently, the service provided by GRAD4 has an interface for visualization of CAD models. However, there is still room for improvement in speed and comprehensibility for the users: both manufacturers and buyers. The main challenge of implementing the improvements is in relatively high computational cost of such visualizations: while a regular PC handles such task […]

In recent years, automation has become more accessible to small- and medium-sized businesses, leading to an increase in popularity of ultra-compact and easy-to-integrate industrial robot arms like Mecademic’s Meca500. However, because of their size constraints, it is harder for these robots to accurately follow a programmed path. This research project aims to improve the path-tracking […]

Mon projet de recherche se concentre sur la perception de la ville de Montréal qu’ont les femmes autochtones. Je vais, au travers de ma problématique, essayer de saisir en quoi cette perception de la ville est liée aux rapports de domination, et plus particulièrement les violences subies. A travers plusieurs sous-questions et à l’aide du […]

Les nouvelles technologies émergentes dans la construction, notamment celles liées au BIM et aux simulations 4D à 7D, créent une rupture dans les méthodes de gestion et entrainent des changements majeurs dans la manière de gérer, coordonner, modéliser et planifier les chantiers, de même que la communication des informations. Cependant, lors de la planification, les […]

Le Canada est un important producteur de cuivre et de zinc. Ces deux métaux sont exploités pratiquement en continu depuis les années 1950 dans le Camp Minier de Matagami en Abitibi. Le district a produit près de 5 millions de tonnes de zinc à l’aide d’une douzaine de gisements appelés « amas sulfurés ». Ces […]

Des découvertes récentes ont démontré que certaines racines de champignons (mycélium) peuvent être mises à profit dans la production de matériaux ayant le potentiel de remplacer le styromousse, les isolants, le bois pressé, les contreplaquées, le cuir et encore d’avantage par des matériaux de qualité supérieure. Mieux encore, ces matériaux de substitution peuvent être produits […]

Ce projet vise à mettre au point des techniques inédites pour résoudre le problème de faire de l’assemblage complexe avec un robot collaboratif. Dans le domaine industriel, les lignes d’assemblage sont composées de robots industriels. Les trajectoires que doivent faire ces robots sont calculées et codées minutieusement. Des senseurs particuliers sont installés, sans compter l’infrastructure […]

Alfalfa forage is the queen of forage in Canada, both for its nutritional value and for its global distribution across Canada; however, its weakest feature is poor winter survival and persistence. This parameter is affected by a multitude of environmental and management factors making it difficult to understand the reasons for this low persistence. This […]

Alfalfa forage is the queen of forages in Canada, both for its nutritional value and for its global distribution across Canada. However, alfalfa yield and nutritive value are affected by multiple environmental and agronomic factors. The interaction among all of those factors makes it difficult for producers and field advisors to determine which of these […]

The purpose of this project is leverage Machine Learning technology to develop and test effective trading strategies in order to properly hedge an investment strategy. Hedging is an integral part of the investment process and allows portfolio managers to protect their positions against any adverse change in asset prices. As it is a task that […]

Market makers facilitate trading in electronic financial markets by simultaneously offering to buy and sell the same asset at any given time. Their role is to provide price stability and increase market liquidity to improve its overall efficiency. Digital assets markets are extremely fragmented and present both challenges and opportunities for market makers. These latter […]

Burdened by aging infrastructures, urbanisation and climate change, municipalities are seeking innovative solutions to address urban water management. To mitigate flooding, riverbank erosion as well as stormwater-caused pollution, many authorities are now relying on green infrastructures and intelligent flow control instead of the traditional grey infrastructures (e.g., basins and pipes). The objective of this research […]
