Le projet consiste élaborer et tester l’ensemble des règles de contrôle pour un bras robotique de type collaboratif bâti sur une technologie de réducteurs à traction en développement. Le projet débute par l’optimisation du contrôle d’impédance sur un axe. Un contrôleur d’interaction est ensuite développé pour le robot collaboratif. Les caractéristiques des réducteurs à traction […]

Sterinova est une entreprise manufacturière pharmaceutique de 95 employés, située à St-Hyacinthe. Nous développons, fabriquons et dustribuons des produits pharmaceutiques destinées aux hôpitaux. Nos produits sont fabriqués dans un environnement stérile. Nous employons autant des employés opérateurs, des chimistes, des ingénieurs que des employés administratifs. À l’instar des autres entreprises, elle vit actuellement avec un […]

Le projet d’intervention s’inscrit dans une démarche de recherche scientifique en relations industrielles et a pour but de trouver des solutions concrètes pour améliorer les relations au travail au sein de l’entreprise Tecnickrome Aéronautique. Parmi les domaines d’intervention envisagés : le climat social et la communication interne entre les différentes parties prenantes. S’agissant d’un contexte […]

Genacol Canada Corporation Inc. manufactures a collagen hydrolysate (CH) supplement sourced from bovine (Genacol® Original Formula) that has shown positive results and potent efficacy in three clinical trials for reducing joint pain. Following digestion and absorption, CHs release amino acids and peptides that can lead to the health-promoting properties of the supplement. Recent studies suggest […]

L’objectif du projet de recherche est de développer un mode de contrôle en force performant et sécuritaire pour un bras manipulateur de Kinova. Afin de répondre à ces critères, le bras robotique doit être en mesure d’appliquer une force constante malgré certaines perturbations et aussi être en mesure de détecter une défaillance afin d’arrêter le […]

Post-consumer textile waste is a serious concern as over two thirds of the postconsumer textiles end up in landfills. More than 95% of the waste could be recycled but only 15% is actually recycled nowadays. This project will test the thermal cracking of textile wastes at high temperatures (500–550°C) in a lab unit at UBC. […]

Timber-harvesting is an important industry to Canada. At this time, the industry is predicting serious labour shortages over the coming decade. Because of this, the industry is looking to robotics and AI technologies to increase the level of autonomy of timber-harvesting machines, as well as, to make the operations more safe and environment friendly. In […]

This proposed study is a part of a comprehensive investigation to evaluate the corrosion performance in SCC concrete structure. The full project is carried out based on the development of new SCC mixtures containing concrete materials available in Newfoundland and an investigation on the cracking behavior of full-scale SCC structure members. The main purpose of […]

Chromatography is the workhorse in biologics manufacturing processes, where its performance significantly contributes to the quality outcomes of the batch, and therefore must be carefully controlled. Process modeling and simulation is the best way to provide control to the process. This proposal aims to develop a hybrid chromatography modeling approach, utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning method, […]

This research aims at investigating the structural performance of engineered bamboo composites (EBCs), namely Dragonwood, to replace traditional Canadian and tropical hardwoods used in jacking applications. Key mechanical properties and failure modes will be documented. The durability and flammability of all three materials will also be evaluated. Despite the obvious environmental advantages of EBCs (e.g., […]

The proposed research will help develop wall paneling that can change colour at the push of a button. We will improve the energy efficiency of the paneling by focusing on the ion conducting electrolyte layer that facilitates the colour change. Specifically, we will separate the electrolyte layer from one into three distinct layers. One layer […]

Safe and healthy weight loss is becoming increasingly important as the obesity burden in Canada continues to grow, with 63.1% of adult Canadians classified as overweight or obese in 2018 according to Statistics Canada. Ketogenic diets are diets that are low in sugar and are very popular for weight loss. However, these diets may be […]
