This project will create a realistic virtual greenhouse where robots can practice picking and pruning. It improves plant physics (bending, fruit detachment), models cameras and depth sensors to produce training data, generates many varied greenhouse scenes, and links simulated robots to Kinova’s control software for end-to-end testing. The result: faster, cheaper R&D, fewer risky field […]

Mostavio is a Toronto-based aerospace company developing ultralight electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft designed for safe, efficient, and sustainable personal air travel. The company focuses on lightweight structures, automation, and human-centered design to make advanced air mobility more accessible. This project explores the use of augmented reality (AR) to improve how pilots and […]

The proposed project aims to address a critical need for DMT, specifically focusing on the valorization of side streams from furfural production. DMT is currently commissioning a furfural pilot plant and will begin commercial sales soon. However, for the pilot plant to be successful the facility needs to utilize more of the lignocellulosic biomass (miscanthus). […]

This project will focus on the very first stage of papermaking, where a watery mixture of fibers is spread onto a moving screen to form a sheet. The way the fibers move and mix during this step—called “stock activity”—has a big effect on how strong, smooth, and uniform the final paper will be. Right now, […]

Rowing Precision, a Canadian sports technology startup, in collaboration with Brock University, seeks to design and test a versatile, on-boat performance monitoring platform that integrates advanced sensor modules, energy-efficient wireless communication, and an intuitive analytics interface. The system will deliver real-time performance feedback to support informed training decisions and enhance competitive performance.

Carbon Exel’s mission is to defossilize the hard-to-decarbonize sectors by generating a low-carbon electro-diesel or e-diesel fuel. E-diesel is derived by transforming carbon dioxide (CO2) and green hydrogen (H2) into e-diesel powered by renewable electricity (hydro, wind, etc.). E-diesel releases 80% less CO2 emissions than traditional diesel, making it a viable option to reduce and […]

Gingival recession affects ~50% of the population and results in the exposure of tooth root surfaces, which leads to an increased risk of dental caries. The gold standard treatment is autologous grafts involving tissue being harvested from the roof of a patient’s mouth, leading to pain and bleeding, the inability to eat, risk of infection, […]

Amylior Inc., une entreprise spécialisée dans les fauteuils roulants motorisés, travaille sur un projet innovant visant à améliorer la vie des utilisateurs de ces fauteuils. L’objectif est de créer un fauteuil intelligent capable de s’adapter aux besoins spécifiques de chaque personne, en surveillant des paramètres comme la pression et la posture. Cela permettrait de prévenir […]

Lululemon is a global leader in athletic apparel industry, focusing on high-quality, functional, and sustainable textiles. With a commitment to environmental responsibility, the partner is targeting 75% sustainable materials by 2025 and aims to source e.g. all cotton from sustainable sources. This joint project aligns with their sustainability mission by addressing two critical challenges: the […]

In this project the interns will work with a leading ultrasound imaging company, FUJIFILM VisualSonics Inc, developing advanced ultrasound beamforming techniques (the process by which images are formed) using specialized ultrasound instrumentation (the F2 system using the VADA platform) that will produce high resolution images of blood vessels in tissues. These advanced beamforming techniques (based […]

In this project, three different phases including a series of structural tests on a novel full-scale precast fiber-reinforced tunnel lining segments reinforced with FRP composite materials are proposed. The three different phases include (1) Structural testing of novel precast concrete tunnel lining segments in the structural laboratory, University of Sherbrooke; (3) field implementation, application, and […]

The proposed project aims to enhance Ciena’s existing AXI protocol tracing solution for FPGAs by adding a timing feature through synchronized counters. This improvement will allow for more accurate data flow tracking and performance within FPGA systems. By integrating this timing capability, the enhanced module will provide Ciena with better diagnostics and debugging tools, leading […]
