Compusult Limited has developed an Uncrewed Ground Vehicle (UGV) system with powerful sensing and terrain navigation capabilities. This project proposes to being development of a system to enhance these capabilities through the addition of machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities. Activities include data collection, organization and development of experimental system to perform baseline experiments.

This research project aims to improve the comfort of automotive seating by evaluating a new vibration massage system developed by our partner company and developing a pressure sensing software that can monitor how people respond to the vibration massage system. The project will integrate the vibration system with the software and introduce additional features such […]

Agriculture is on the brink of a paradigm shift due to sustainability challenges and the demands of a growing population. This transformation is being led by cellular agriculture, an emerging industry that encompasses lab-grown products ranging from sugar substitutes to meat-in-a-dish. Canada’s pork industry, one of the world’s largest, stands to benefit from this innovation […]

Nanocellulose is an emerging sustainable Canadian nanomaterial with potential applications in a range of industries. This collaborative project between the Cranston group at UBC and Anomera Inc. aims to enhance Anomera’s nanocellulose product, Dextracel, through a straightforward water-based surface modification route. More specifically, we will increase the stability of Dextracel, improve the compatibility of Dextracel […]

This project addresses critical healthcare concerns by developing a user-centric vital sign monitoring system tailored for continuous patient care. In a society grappling with health management challenges, especially amidst an aging population and events like the COVID-19 pandemic, this initiative bridges a persistent gap in post-intervention care. Many individuals, particularly elderly and fragile patients, often […]

The proposed research investigates the effects of glass-fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars as a means of flexural reinforcement for glulam beams. Engineered wood products (EWPs) such as glue-laminated timber (glulam) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) allow for wood to be used in a larger array of applications. Fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) can be used as a method […]

Human blood contains a large collection of proteins that can provide insight for early detection and projection of disease. Global protein profiling is commonly enabled by mass spectrometry (or MS; a technology that identifies protein components by mass), but the identification of proteins in blood is challenging because of the sheer complexity of blood samples. […]

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers with a very poor survival upon detection. Pancreatic ducts are channels responsible for secreting pancreatic juices into the small intestines to aid in digestion. Pancreatic duct cancers account for up to 80% of the total pancreatic cancers, and current treatment are not efficacious to control the […]

In this research project, we would like to improve game testing using Reinforcement Learning (RL). By using RL, we can create intelligent agents that can play games independently and give us valuable feedback on the game’s quality. This will make game testing more effective and efficient. We also plan to explore a new approach called […]
