This project is aimed at providing the sense of touch (haptics) in Robotics-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS). In our previous work, we developed a 7-DOF haptics-enabled master-slave teleoperation setup at CSTAR (Canadian Surgical Technologies and Advanced Robotics) for RAMIS. This setup is a research platform for two important applications: endoscopic suturing and tumor localization in […]

Hydra Energy Corporation Commercial Demonstration Project based in Prince George, British Columbia 12.4 MT/day of waste hydrogen will be captured, purified and transported to an onsite hydrogen refueling station from which Class 8 tractor-trailer truck fleets will refuel daily. Hydra’s demonstration project can provide a significant reduction in fleet greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions, Particulate Matter and […]

The Suncor/McMaster partnership is generating a pipeline of novel, green, agricultural chemicals to be applied as crop sprays. The proposed collaboration will expand the application of the sprays to various crop species in both greenhouse and field settings and contribute to the understanding of the mode of action of the active ingredients.

La recherche vise à développer un poste de travail incluant des outils manuels, des méthodes de travail, des dispositifs de maintien des pièces, d’aspiration des poussières, et d’éclairage qui permettent de réduire les facteurs de risques à la santé et à la sécurité des travailleurs dans une usine de remise à neuf de pièces de […]

This project is about a novel chip-based wireless power transfer system. Its integrated and flexible design eliminates the need for power cables for any DC device in homes, offices, parkades and power generating facilities. Unlike existing solutions, the system operates simultaneously with multi electricity requirement devices, has extended range, generates no heat, can transfer power […]

La nouvelle entreprise montréalaise Nüvü Caméras développe, manufacture et commercialise des caméras reconnues comme les plus sensibles au monde. En plus de quadrupler l’efficacité des télescopes en astronomie, la technologie EMCCD (Electron Multiplying Charge Coupled Device) de Nüvü Caméras permet d’augmenter la compréhension scientifique dans des domaines aussi importants que le diagnostic biomédical, la pharmaceutique […]

To meet growing demand, the aquaculture industry is building increasingly larger land-based farms. There are few locations which can provide enough fresh water for their operation and the industry is forced to reduce its water requirements further by modifying recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) to incorporate zero-exchange technology. Cooke Aquaculture Inc. is currently constructing a zero-exchange […]

Dans notre société numérique connectée, l’équipement électronique consomme une quantité importante d’énergie, dont environ la moitié est dédiée au refroidissement essentiel pour le maintien des performances. Le but du projet ‘STREAMS Plus’ est de développer une solution de gestion thermique adaptative pour maintenir la performance des dispositifs et systèmes microélectroniques à leur meilleur, tout en […]

Bicycle and pedestrian counts are important data for the planning and design of safe roads. However, these data need to be inspected for quality, a time-consuming task. Part of this project is to make this project simpler, quicker and more accurate. Installing pedestrian and bicycle counters across an entire city road network is not financially […]

Recycling complex products, typical to aeronautic industry, require a highly enhancement in Canadian engineering knowledge, The project will study the best ways to part-out, dismantle and recycle aircraft and helicopter at the end of their life with the objective of increasing their value by recovering, reusing or recycling subassemblies; parts and material. An experimental platfonn […]

Reactive crystallization is a process commonly used for the production of chemical compounds including pharmaceutical ingredients. In a stirred-tank setup, one reagent solution stream is injected into the reactor where it meets a sitting solution of the other reagent. Reaction occurs as soon as the reagents meet, forming an insoluble product which quickly precipitates in […]

Chest radiography is a common and essential examination tool in medical practice for the diagnosis of lung diseases. Recent approaches in artificial intelligence have demonstrated that transfer learning of deep learning models was able to provide performance gains at the level of practicing radiologists. These techniques transfer the features learned on ImageNet to medical data […]
