In this project, we will solve a challenging material handling problem encountered by our industry partner in a labour-intensive step of their production process, which will help compensate for current and future personnel shortages and enable expansion of production. The main challenges in this project include object detection, grasping and manipulation of heavy material, and […]

Nous sommes une jeune entreprise québécoise qui offre une solution de capteur assistant la maintenance prédictive. Le projet vise à développer des capteurs spécialisés et les mettre en application pour le suivi d’équipement des manufacturiers alimentaires. Grace à la capacité des capteurs d’utiliser l’intelligence artificielle pour l’auto-apprentissage, nous nous démarquons de nos compétiteurs par la […]

Project Justification Research and analysis into the reception of visual distortion correction as a tool for image optimization for moderate to severe stage AMD patients with central vision loss allowing them to see better images. Project Objective and Scope Research and design a study protocol to either prove or disprove the hypothesis that correcting distortion […]

Le projet vise à utiliser des données décrivant les événements d’une partie de hockey et leur localisation sur la patinoire afin de segmenter les types de joueurs. Les données relatives au profil physique des joueurs de hockey (données passives) ont été historiquement employées afin de guider la fabrication des pièces d’équipement au hockey. Pour ce […]

Pelvic floor disorders, such as pelvic organ prolapse (POP), negatively affects millions of women each year. POP is the descent of the vagina resulting in symptoms of vaginal bulging, pelvic pressure or heaviness, pain, and incontinence. A nonsurgical option for POP symptom relief is the use of pessaries, removable vaginal prosthetics; however, current pessary designs […]

Numerous industries and government agencies carry out analyses every day using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) instruments that typically waste 95% of the sample. A greener approach would not generate any sample waste. During this project, an infrared heated pre-evaporation tube will be developed and coupled to nebulizers from the industrial partner so as to allow […]

This project will result in the generation of mathematical models that will predict the quality and sustainability of protein-based ingredients that are commonly used in dog diets. With the projected growth of human and pet populations, and increases in food production necessary to meet growing demands, providing Canadian pet food companies (such as our industry […]

Dr. Potter has recently begun exploring the impact that probiotics (beneficial bacteria found in some food sources such as probiotic yogurt and kefir) have on anxiety and depression. Other researchers have shown that probiotic bacteria exert a significant effect on anxiety and depression-like behaviours in animals. A few studies have extended these findings to humans. […]

This project aims to design a keyword spotting system (KWS) using microphone arrays installed on an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). The project consists in 1) installing microphone arrays on the partner’s UGV, recording the ego-noise generated by the wheels and engine, and measuring the acoustic transfer function for each possible direction of arrival; 2) creating […]

The project is designed to reduce the carbon intensity of ethylene production in Alberta. Ethylene is an important building block for the chemical industry to produce plastics, consumer goods, solvents, paints. Ethylene is predominantly produced by steam cracking releasing up to 2.7 kg CO2 eq./ kg of polyethylene produced. In Alberta, the production of ethylene […]

The project shall improve the status reporting and process compliant working within automotive embedded projects by connecting and automating existing tools, procedures and solutions.
