Le stage vise le développement du positionnement stratégique et de la stratégie de commercialisation d’une technologie émergeante. Ce stage a pour objectif central de constater l’évolution du marché et de la concurrence afin d’assurer que les efforts réalisés par l’équipe de R&D lié à Iridis sont toujours positionnés dans une plage d’opportunité rentable pour l’entreprise.

Industrial robots are known for their speed and power. Collaborative robots, by their definition, require more delicate movement to work alongside human workers. We propose work that will support future product launches by combining advanced trajectory generation for smooth operation and increasing component life by minimizing acceleration and jerk, while also reducing operation cycle times. […]

Environmental Instruments Canada Inc. (EIC) develops, manufactures, and sells innovative radiation safety equipment. Our current flagship product is an extremely fast radon detector – an essential tool used by radon mitigation contractors to locate the optimal point to install radon mitigation systems. Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally when uranium breaks down in […]

Developing new high performance steels using pilot scale facilities such as those available at CanmetMATERIALS laboratory in Hamilton is more efficient and cost effective than using industrial lines. However, some recent projects carried out for Stelco Inc revealed unexpected discrepancies between pilot scale results and real industrial data. The aim of this project is to […]

RetinaLogik Biotech Inc. is a social enterprise based out of Calgary, Alberta. We believe everyone deserves access to quality vision care: With RetinaLogik software, life-changing eye exams can be delivered on intelligent and portable devices at a fraction of the cost. As we approach the beginning of our clinical trials, we see this as excellent […]

Western Canada produces 40% of world’s flax for oil. After the harvesting of oilseed, an estimated 500,000 to 1,000,000 tonnes of flax straw is produced annually. Only small fraction of the straw is used and remaining are currently underutilized. The flax straw calorific value is similar to the woody biomass. Flax straw combustion for power […]

In this project we will employ a novel proprietary recycling solution developed by the sponsoring organization, Jeosal, to obtain fibres from recycled Fiber Reinforced Composites (FRP). High quality recycled glass and carbon fibres, extracted from composite wastes from end-of-life and manufacturing sources will be characterized in detail and melt compounded with polyamide. Suitable surface treatments […]

It is well known that space heating is the largest component of energy consumed by Canada’s building sector. Additionally, 64% of the energy used for space heating is from non-renewable sources. For Canada’s remote and rigid communities, which are our immediate target market, this percentage is even higher, greater than 75%. Heat energy naturally flows […]

Designing customized seating cushion supports for people with limited mobility is essential. A personalized cushion would help relieve seating pressure and prevent tissue injuries due to long-time sitting. This project aims to speed up and lower the cost of producing these cushions by using machine learning, and additive (3D) manufacturing techniques. This project is being […]

2.2 billion people live with vision impairment: Over 1 billion are preventable or treatable. Even though the majority of cases are in Developing Countries, 75% of vision loss in Canada is preventable and 1 out of 5 Canadians are at risk of vision loss. Our emerging crisis of preventable blindness costs the Canadian government almost […]
