Clearpath Robotics has developed an accurate GPS navigation system that enables autonomous robots to move in outdoor environments. However, to move toward a target location and avoid obstacles along the path, a path planner is required. The objective of this project is to develop, tune and modify an efficient path planner for the robot in […]

The Dolphin and Union caribou herd is integral to Inuit culture, subsistence and identity. Preliminary local and scientific knowledge both indicate that this caribou herd is declining and in poorer health than before. We need to bring everyone together and use everything we know about Dolphin and Union caribou, the environment and the other animals […]

Wetlands are important habitats for many plant and animal species, and also provide valuable ecosystem services to society such as improving water quality and releasing groundwater into streams. While wetlands are often protected from development through the land use planning process in Ontario, development and land use change near wetlands can still alter the amount […]

This Phase I proposal is intended to undertake a requirements-gathering and an initial system design for a system that exploits the integrity guarantees of blockchain technology and the high throughput capability of commercial/open source transactional database management systems (DBMS). Although current approaches will be a part of the solution, innovation is required to allow for […]

The candidate will study multiple configurations of buildings made with steel modular units and analyse their structural performance under seismic loads. This will allow the company Entuitive Corporation to expand their area of operation as well as their client base.

Many architecture and design firms in Calgary have a strong desire to incorporate parametric software (BIM) and digital manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies into their design processes in order to meet evolving client demands, regulatory requirements, and sustainability performance targets. These are necessary criteria that constitute high-quality built environments capable of meeting the needs of multiple stakeholders […]

In the last decade optimization is expanded in many applications from food production to sophisticated applications such as engine fuel efficiency. In the proposed package, it is tried to apply optimization techniques along with physics based analytical and semi-analytical methodologies to create a compelling framework which can help thermal-process based oil industry to reduce their […]

The agricultural sector is currently facing a conundrum, whereas the needs to produce more (food, fiber, bioenergy) are ever increasing, the land and resources needed to produce them are diminishing. Furthermore, consumers and legislators pressure for environmentally friendly products are increasing accordingly, the development of sustainable alternatives such as the use of plant growth-promoting rhyzobacteria […]

Regeneration of destroyed arteries using the patient’s own stem cells is an innovative new treatment for Peripheral Artery Disease, that is currently being tested in humans in a Phase II trial. Throughout clinical studies, there has been an issue efficiently recruiting patients and clinical trial sites. Recruitment is recognized as a key determinant of success […]

Ce projet a pour objectif de faire la lumière sur l’effet de levier que l’économie sociale peut jouer dans une perspective de transition québécoise vers l’économie circulaire. Il permettra d’identifier les secteurs d’activités et les modèles d’affaires les plus porteurs pour les entreprises d’économie sociale dans le déploiement de boucles d’économie circulaire à une échelle […]

The depletion of fossil fuels and the negative impacts of their extraction and combustion on the environment have encouraged scientists and industrial stakeholders to explore the development of alternative, and renewable energy resources such as bio-oil, which can be produced from biomass by pyrolysis and bio-oil upgrading. The main disadvantages of crude bio-oils derived from […]

The main objective of the project is to upgrade the existing system at Gnowit to create a complex self learning automated decision support system. The system(crawlers) will automatically collect all the data related to any company, political system or a specific entity from the articles, blogs and reviews and create a more actionable report. The […]
