La fabrication de produit issu de réactions chimiques pourra bénéficier des retombées de l’industrie 4.0. Cependant, pour arriver à un grand degré d’automatisation et le choix approprié des paramètres à contrôler par l’acquisition de données en temps réel, il est important de déterminer et de comprendre l’impact des variables sur la qualité du produit final. […]

Editing the faces of 3D avatars is a difficult and important task. We will develop an approach that enables users to perform local edits of faces through means of adjusting the values of anthropometric measurements. Such measurements are derived from well-established research about the shape and proportion of faces. Based on a data set of […]

Lignin, a substance in the cell walls of plants, is produced as a waste when wood is processed into pulps, papers, and similar products. In addition, this organic polymer exists in massive waste wood chips generated by various forestry and wood processing industry sectors. To advance the circular economy and diversify forestry products, there has […]

Understanding cognitive workload of the operator is paramount in Ergonomics. Despite the danger that human factors like distraction, inattention and mental stress have on operators’ performance, little is known on how to measure operators’ cognitive load and mental state in a reliable and valid fashion. Atlas Copco is at the forefront of designing adaptive tools […]

Global population growth, urbanization and changing climate patterns have increased the demand for potable water, wastewater reuse and value recovery from wastewater, and treatment of industrial process water. Population growth also results in increased demand for the shipping of goods by ocean freight, with the associated risk of the transport of unwanted marine life from […]

Butyl Rubber has become one of the most important polymers in the modern world, impacting everyone’s daily lives. Interestingly, the processes to make butyl rubber can be convoluted and while they are effective, it makes it difficult to fine tune the production to systematically improve yields. This project will use newly developed methods in our […]

Nexeya is an innovative industrial group that provides test, integration and control-command solutions mainly in the Defense, Aeronautics, Energy, Railway, and Automotive sectors. Nexeya’s current products are able to test characterise wiring harnesses and detecting and localising wiring defects, in the Aeronautics, Automotive, Railway, and Space industries. This proposed research project aims to advance the […]

In general, the goal of project is to investigate the train travel data and figure out the main factors affecting train travel time. Moreover, we will use machine learning algorithms to predict their arrival time to stations and forecast when delays will happen. Specifically, to figure out what factors are affecting train travel times, we […]

Se représenter ce qu’est l’intelligence artificielle (IA) pose trois problèmes : 1- le mot contient « intelligence » et ce terme est connoté, flou, et toujours matière à débat. 2- l’IA sert à prendre des décisions, ce n’est pas une fonction qu’on laisse à n’importe qui dans nos états de droits et nos démocraties libérales. […]

Circulation coins present a large challenge from the point of view of protecting and enhancing their appearance, as well as incorporating new features for recognition and protection. An ideal technology for the modification of the surface of coins is atomic layer deposition (ALD), where films of any thicknesses from just above the atomic scale to […]

This project will investigate the efficiency of the ferrosilicon smelting process by determining electrical resistance of the raw materials. Ferrosilicon is produced in a submerged-arc furnace, and requires large amounts of electrical energy. The process requires quartz, iron, and carbon as the raw materials. Each of the three input materials have different electrical properties that […]

Evolution of the on-ice sport equipment, namely skate boots and blades, has been primarily driven by the users; however, there is a lack of scientific evidence supporting the link between skate boot/blade design and set up as it translates to optimal on ice skating technique and performance. We are proposing a new academic-industrialsport research collaboration […]
