This project aims to use flocks of autonomous UAVs for inspection, map generation, and the production of real-time digital twins in dynamic (i.e., time-changing) environments, using commercial ports as a case study. This project will advance autonomous drone navigation in the presence of vehicles and people, the automated deployment of large fleets, and support and […]

In this internship, we aim to develop a machine-learning model that learns human pose and movements. Such models can be used for AI-assisted human animation creation, motion refinement and denoising, video or imageto- pose conversion, and motion editing. We plan to implement and push state-of-the-art human motion models by taking inspiration from the advances in […]

Nikola Tesla is considered one of the greatest inventors in history and “the man who invented the 20th century”. Science textbooks mention a number of scientists when their work is related to a given topic and frequently include a biographical note with a photo. When it comes to Nikola Tesla, such information is often missing, […]

Conduct EMR market research to develop a marketing strategy to penetrate new markets across Canada to further growth.

The participants are working together to provide a novel solution to the requirement for steering antennae for satellite communications. The solution will use new integrated circuits designed to process information optically rather than electronically. The application for this work includes the provision of broadband access to remote communities. The work brings together experts from McMaster […]

Families need help with their weekly food needs due to busy schedules, stressful weekly meal planning and rising food costs. This research project aims at combining recipes, nutrition, family profiles and preferences, and grocery shopping to recommend healthy and varied meal plans to families. These meal plans will be the base to build grocery shopping […]

Cybersecurity incidents such as data breaches have become more critical and costly than ever, as we are generating, processing, and relying on more digital information every day. To quickly identify potential security attacks and prevent them in a sea of system activities, machine learning (ML) has been applied to support security analysts’ decisions. However, the […]

The Multivariate Polynomial Digital Signature Scheme (MPPK-DS) is a new Post-Quantum cryptographic scheme that relies on the hardness of solving a set of multivariate polynomials. The scheme is an ideal candidate for the new NIST call for Post-Quantum digital signature algorithms that intents to diversify the post-quantum signature standards. In this project, we will work […]

Cette étude analyse la manière dont les incubateurs et accélérateurs d’entreprises (AIE) dans une industrie très émergente construisent leur légitimité pour attirer les entrepreneurs et des acteurs importants de l’écosystème entrepreneurial dans leurs programmes. Nous étudierons ce phénomène à travers le cas de l’incubateur Digihub qui lance un pôle de créativité et métavers dans son […]

21st century Canada requires a data fluent arts and culture sector. The cultural sectors and their funders must mobilize data to understand the impact and value of their efforts in Canada and abroad, and to improve these efforts. Building a Data Fluent Canadian Cultural Sector will identify existing data collection efforts in Canada, describe data […]

This project is to improve the witness statement taking process for law enforcement or associated businesses/business lines. The benefit to our organization by hiring an intern is to continue to develop and improve our digital witness statement taking software.

To address the challenge of increasing flight endurance for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), a novel technique involving the exploitation of atmospheric energy, typically by soaring in thermal updrafts, is being developed. The AUTOSOAR algorithm developed in a previous Mitacs project permits the UAV to rely less on its onboard motor to maintain altitude, and reduce […]
