Dans le but d’améliorer le taux d’ensemencement d’un semoir pneumatique de graines de résineux, un système automatisé de vision par ordinateur permettant la détection automatique des graines de semences de résineux permettant ainsi l’évaluation en temps-réel de l’efficacité d’ensemencement du semoir sera développé. Ce système automatisé sera constitué d’un système de capture d’images par caméra […]

Our research project aims to develop an advanced coating solution for the tire molding industry to address the problem of rubber sticking to mold and vent surfaces during the tire curing process. Currently available solutions are costly, have a limited lifespan, and cause interruptions in the manufacturing process. We propose to use an electroless composite […]

Rising material costs, lack of quality control, labour shortages, challenging climates and significant on-site waste continue to be the challenges encountered by the Canadian construction industry. The collaboration between the research team and NEXII aims to develop the much-needed technical know-how for the new generation building panel products to address these challenges. This research concentrates […]

The goal of this project is to explore how cloud-based processing of image data can be utilized in real-time robotics applications, specifically in advanced object tracking. The challenge is to balance the need for considerable computing resources with the cost of deploying such resources with each robot arm. This is where cloud-based processing offers a […]

The essence of the project is to create an adaptive electrically controlled prosthesis for a child’s hand. The prosthesis should be able to be resized for the patient at the stage of computer-aided design. To realize this, it is proposed to create a parametric model of the prosthesis in a CAD system. Also, during the […]

Boron nitride nanotube (BNNT), a structural analog of carbon nanotube, has emerged as a key-enabling material in various fields of extreme/major science thanks to its transformative properties such as high oxidation resistance, high specific mechanical strength, piezoelectricity, and high neutron shielding capability. To harness its unique properties, it is essential to fabricate macroscopic BNNT articles […]

A modular quantum computer is a system that utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to store and process information. Although quantum computers have the potential to offer significantly greater computational power than classical computers, their development is complicated by a lack of scalabil-ity. To address this issue, small quantum processors or modules are employed, which […]

Printed electronics is a field of electronics that involves printing of electronic devices and components on a variety of substrates, including paper, plastic, and textiles. This technology uses printing techniques including inkjet printing, screen printing and gravure printing to create circuits, sensors, displays and other electronic devices. Advantages of printed electronics include low-cost production, design […]

The abradable rub strip (ARS) material’s main function is to minimize the clearance between blade tips and the fan case, thereby increasing the overall engine efficiency. Under tensile and compressive loading, the abradable material behaves different, and has a significant post-failure compaction under compressive loading. Therefore, its characterization is complex and requires a wide range […]

The research project aims to develop a portable, wireless interface for implantable medical devices that monitor brain activity in patients with conditions such as epilepsy and motor disorders. This new software will allow for continuous, unrestricted measurement of brain activity, enabling doctors to collect high-quality data in patients’ natural environments. The interface will wirelessly transmit […]

More than half of Canadian households have companion animals such as dogs or cats. However, cancer has become the leading cause of death in dogs. Currently, available treatments have limitations and compromise the quality of life of dogs. Dragonfly Research Inc (Adored Beast Apothecary) wishes to develop unique natural health products (NHP) to prevent and […]

The overall objective of this study is to generate lignin-derived sustainable emulsion systems for coating applications. The main focus of this study is on the generation of functional lignin derivatives and then the conversion of these lignin derivatives to lignin nanoparticles. Afterward, the use of lignin nanoparticles in oil-water emulsions will be studied for coating […]
