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 […]

Conventionally, structural Al sheets are produced via casting thick ingots using Direct Chill (DC) technique, followed by an energy-intensive reduction procedure to the final thickness. A new production process developed by CASTechnology, termed Thin Strip Casting (TSC) technique, can directly output thin sheets, thus reducing the cost as well as the carbon foot print associated […]

The main technical objective for the intern is to contribute in developing a breadboard that utilizes the laser, receiver and scanner technologies and create a potentially very small lidar. The intern other objectives might also include: • Investigate the transmitter choices and down?select the best one • Examine the available detector arrays • Evaluate whether […]

Spiral tubes and rings have been broadly used in the manufacturing sector, especially for the automobile industry. However, the failure of the rings will significantly shorten the service life of components, even leading to a disaster when the part is under operation. Generally, these tubes and rings are made from steel sheets spirally using the […]

The project will employ three undergraduate coop students and one post-doctoral fellow to work with the MesoMat team to improve the sensing capabilities of the fiber technology that has been developed at MesoMat and develop robust production methods. MesoMat has developed a fiber-based sensor manufactured from plastics and nanoparticles. These materials change their resistance when […]

L’alimentation durable est une composante essentielle de l’économie durable visant à un développement économique apte à répondre aux besoins du présent sans compromettre la capacité des générations futures à répondre aux leurs. Pour ce faire, l’alimentation durable préconise la consommation de produits locaux et, en ce qui concerne les produits maraîchers, cultivés dans le respect […]

La présence de très nombreuses pièces différentes dans les avions implique la fabrication de petites séries de nombreuses pièces. La majorité des pièces en composites, fabriqués en composites thermodurcissables, sont lourdes et leur fabrication très longue et manuelle. Dans le but d’alléger les masses structurelles des avions et de ramener des emplois au Québec, Génik, […]

Agricultural waste and public effluents often contain elevated levels of phosphorous and nitrogen that limit its ability to be directly repurposed as crop fertilizer or irrigation spray. Removal of soluble nutrients from waste water is difficult. Current treatment options have high investment costs and are often not well suited for smaller farm sizes common in […]

Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles represent the new frontier of transportation electrification. Since the dawn of aviation, enthusiasts have dreamed of “flying cars” that can reduce trips that take hours on the ground to minutes in the air, improving productivity and quality of life. What was previously the realm of science fiction is […]
