The proposed project on cooperative multi-robot systems addresses one of the recognized major challenges and opportunities in collaborative robotics (Cobots). For multi-robot groups, optimizing transportation efficiency for the workpiece while at the same time achieving whole-body obstacle avoidance in a cluttered manufacturing environment is highly involved due to the physical coupling of the system between […]

Terahertz (THz) waves are a type of radiation located between micro-waves and infrared light. This radiation possess both the qualities of micro-waves passing through walls and infrared which can be used to image an object. In the current project of the student, electro-optic sampling (EOs) method is used to detect THz pulse’s phase in reflexion […]

A web task is defined as the set of services, sessions, and sequence of interactions that are required to perform a certain user objective. The current Web tasking model does not consider user preferences and context when executing a Web task. The proposed research project aims to improve the experience of Web users through personalization […]

The objective of this project is to improve long-term planning of Alberta’s electricity system infrastructure in collaboration with an industry sponsor, Alberta Electricity System Operator (AESO). The project aims at engaging stakeholders in a regional planning exercise in southern Alberta by a detailed exploration of their perspectives when evaluating energy system alternatives. This was identified […]

Today’s automobile is more than a mechanical tool; it contains a myriad of computers, sensors, IoT, and embedded nodes. The embedded system is the heart of a vehicle’s electronic system because of its versatility and flexibility. Furthermore, these systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated and interconnected, both to each other and to the Internet. However, with […]

L’apprentissage profond, un type d’intelligence artificielle, consomme une quantité phénoménale d’électricité. Les réseaux neuronaux, à la base de cette technologie, sont présentement implémentés sur ordinateurs. Or, il est possible de créer des réseaux de neurones fonctionnant à l’aide de la lumière, des réseaux de neurones photoniques. Cette technologie pourrait permettre de réduire la consommation d’électricité […]

Les objectifs de ce projet de recherche sont : 1. Programmer un prototype d’application CPDLC tel qu’implémenté sur le Airbus A380 (version A); 2. Développer un prototype de la nouvelle application CPDLC selon les maquettes conçues par notre équipe (version B); 3. Programmer l’interface CPDLC du contrôleur aérien pour la réception et l’envoi de message; […]

Team collaboration is important for performing image-guided surgery, including laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, training healthcare providers in a team setting is critical for the success of laparoscopic procedures. To improve the quality of any team training program, we need to develop a reliable assessment instrument to measure team performance. The currently available team assessment tools are […]

Les intervenants en situations de crise sont exposés à des environnements « extrêmes » qui poussent fréquemment leurs limites physiques et mentales au maximum de leur capacité. Toutefois, des études scientifiques démontrent qu’une charge de travail trop élevée est associée à une diminution de la performance des individus. Ainsi, ces environnements extrêmes sont propices aux […]

Bloomberg recently reported that theft and embezzlement of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ether, have become an annual USD $200 million business. Indeed, just between January 2021 and March 2022 investors have lost over US$1 billion in cryptocurrency scams according to the report by the US’s Federal Trade Commission. More than 46,000 people have lost […]
