Utilizing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to Improve Agricultural Production in Developing Countries Struggling with Pre and Post Harvest Food Loss

This project aims to bridge Canadian talent with the rapidly growing technology scene in Asia, and vice versa. A huge opportunity – and challenge – that the world faces in the coming years is the issue of feeding the ever increasing global population without harming the environment. Currently, the agricultural industry is failing at this […]

Enrouleurs instrumentés pour l’auto-étalonnage et l’enseignement direct des robots parallèles entraînés par câbles

L’entreprise RBot9 a développé le RoCap, un robot parallèle entraîné par câbles (RPEC) qu’elle destine à des applications d’inspection, d’entretien et de fabrication d’aéronefs. Afin de faciliter la collaboration entre le RoCap et son opérateur, on voudrait améliorer deux aspects de ce robot : (1) on voudrait faciliter le redéploiement du robot en permettant son […]

Deep Generative Behavior Modeling

Autonomous cars are one example of a compelling next-generation artificial intelligence technology. In order to safely navigate through the world, cars must plan long-range routes and short-range paths, perceive the world around them, and act according to a safety-first policy that takes into account the intent of agents in their surrounding world. While not strictly […]

Corrélation entre les propriétés rhéologiques et physiques d’un élastomère

La production de pièces techniques en caoutchouc met en oeuvre un procédé de transformation irréversible, la vulcanisation, qui permet d’attribuer à la pièce des propriétes mécaniques qui doivent respecter des valeurs de spécifications précises. Un non-respect des critères de qualité engendre un gaspillage, car en raison du caractère difficilement recyclable du caoutchouc, la matière des […]

Improving the performance of manufacturing processes at GE Bromont by using artificial intelligence and pattern recognition

The products manufactured at GE Bromont go through a series of processes that produce the specific characteristics of each product according to required specifications. The number of these characteristics is very large, and several characteristics are dependent on the others. This reality makes the use of traditional statistical techniques for quality control of products laborious […]

Cooperative Model Predictive Control in the Coastal Incident Management System (CIMS)

Marine oil spills without rapid and effective response may cause a series of severe hazards such as destroying the ocean ecological environments or even impacting human welfares. Conventional responders lack the in-time response capability for these time-sensitive incidents. To this end, SHIFT Environmental Technologies Ltd., are developing a promising solution called the Coastal Incident Management […]

Application of protein fibers in plant-based meat analogues to improve mechanical and textural properties

Plenty of conclusive evidence points to the association of meat consumption with negative environmental outcomes resulting in climate change. These findings show the importance of reducing meat consumption and developing efficient strategies such as production of meat alternatives to alleviate the associated environmental and health issues. However, the production of plant-based meat analogues that can […]

Design of a Novel, Low-profile Picture Space Heater

Datec Coatings Corporation has developed a new technology that enables them to print heating elements on various surfaces. One of these is a mica sheet, which is physically very similar to regular cereal box cardboard. By printing an image on another sheet of mica and placing both of these in a frame, it is possible […]

Fabricating and Investigating Laser-induced Reduced Graphene Oxide RFID Tag

Transient electronics and their dissolution byproducts, are usually harmless and benign, and hence they are an attractive approach for the global e-waste problem especially for low-cost, one time use devices such as RFID tag antennas. For this research, a straightforward laser-induced method of environmentally friendly reduced Graphene Oxide films is proposed for fabricating transient RFID […]

AI-based data fusion models for activity duration forecasting and scheduling

This project will develop an artificial intelligence-based data fusion framework for activity duration forecasting in project scheduling. Task duration estimation is an important component for project scheduling and optimization for many industries. This problem is significantly more acute for projects with a very large number of activities such as ship building and refit or when […]
