Operating a fleet of autonomous robots introduces challenges such as reduced safety for humans working around the robots, reliability of intern communication of the robots, coordination behaviour of the robots, etc. At Fourien we have developed autonomous robots which work very well as stand alone units but there is a need of development of a […]

Global warming is a leading threat to humanity. Carbon capture, especially direct air capture (DAC), is the key to its reversal. The bottleneck of the DAC expansion is its high cost vs. the insufficient value of CO2. On the other hand, Atlantic Canada has unmet natural gas demand, especially after the termination of Sable and […]

L’usage excessif des plastiques à l’échelle mondiale engendre de grands défis liés au control de la pollution, particulièrement dans les océans, mais aussi au niveau de l’empreinte carbonique de leur production. Dans le contexte de crise sanitaire actuel due à la COVID-19, les équipements de protection personnel sont nécessaires et leurs utilisation, obligatoire, a augmenté […]

L’étude porte sur les associations de plantes en agriculture urbaine au sein des plantes de la famille des Brassicacées, tels que le chou, le brocoli, la moutarde, la roquette, etc. Certaines plantes en compagnonnage aux cultures de la famille des Brassicacées ont des fonctions intéressantes pouvant l’imiter l’infestation d’insectes ravageurs. Les insectes ravageurs peuvent nuire […]

In distributed computing settings, data privacy is of paramount importance (e.g., mobile or medical devices). Federated Learning (FL) empowered the state-of-the-art deep neural network model to provide AI solutions to clients while keeping the client data private in distributed computing settings. Communication between different devices is one of the main bottlenecks of FL model because […]

This project aims to solve the problem of visual inspection of the aircrafts. The images and/or video will be used in conjunction with an AI/ algorithm to efficiently identify aircraft defects. The drone-based computer vision approach to defect detection will be compared to traditional, manual techniques to assess the potential for increased safety and efficiency […]

Additive manufacturing is a booming industry and Rapidia is at the cutting edge with the material extrusion + sintering approach. To better position ourselves in the market we need to: – qualify our output in terms of accuracy and deformation – prepare future leading software development – demonstrate the versatile capabilities of the machine – […]

Seleste needs to develop an app to integrate with our hardware. For this project we need interns to help us develop this app which includes two major components. First is the React Native app where interns will develop our partner integrations. This includes companies like Be My Eyes and Aira which provide services that we […]

Zero Point Cryogenics is Canada’s manufacturers of dilution refrigerators, the cryogenic platform for enabling quantum technologies. To advance our product offerings, we need to innovate beyond what is currently offered on the market. Through this Mitacs internship, Zero Point Cryogenics will work with the University of Alberta to develop a new feature for our dilution […]

Video surveillance on mobile platforms such as school buses and public transit systems is increasingly important to ensure the safety of the public and the drivers. These systems are typically equipped with various sensors, e.g., GPS and accelerometer. In this project, the intern will develop a pattern recognition algorithm for our partner organization to fuse […]
