The proposed research project focuses on improving winter wheat production in Northwestern Ontario, a region with a short growing season and unpredictable climate. Farmers must select optimal planting dates for winter wheat for maximum production and it is challenging due to the number of growing days and planting depth before winter. Hence, the project aims […]

In order to navigate the world, an autonomous agent must build a causal model to understand the effects of its actions. In many tasks (automated car driving, automated medicine), collecting causal data, by performing arbitrary actions for the sake of measuring their effect (interventions), can be impractical, expensive and even unethical. On the other hand, […]

This proposed research project will be performed to understand the influence of female apparel on running biomechanics, soft tissue vibrations, and responses to neuromuscular fatigue in prolonged running. There is an emerging and growing need in sporting goods research and development departments to study female-specific running patterns in order to create products that ensure comfort, […]

This project is a collaboration between Korea’s Soongsil University NDT Lab and Canada’s Waterloo University Computer Vision for Smart Structure Lab (CViSS), aiming to promote new research at each institute and build smart construction and infrastructure monitoring. NDT Lab focuses on developing non-destructive engineering technologies for concrete internal crack width, reinforcing bar diameter and internal […]

The objective of the research project is to develop a comprehensive framework for avatar-mediated communication in AR/VR environments, with a focus on avatar facial expressions. The framework is intended to enhance the efficiency of communication in Mixed Reality (MR) remote collaboration situations, which can be variously applied to education, industry, and medicine, by providing a […]

Le projet de recherche entrepris par l’étudiant durant son déplacement au Canada visera à produire des nanocomposites cellulosiques pour le champ d’application diélectrique par impression 3D sur une durée prévue de 4 mois. Ce projet vise à répondre à trois questions scientifiques : 1-Évaluer l’imprimabilité 3D de nanocomposites à base de nanocellulose dans une matrice […]

This research aims to develop and utilize a virtual human evaluation model using the concept of dimensionality in XR interfaces. The phased goals to achieve the final goal are Research phase 1) Experimental design by designing virtual humans according to dimension levels in XR interfaces and deriving types of usage purposes, Research phase 2) Evaluation […]

There is a growing demand for training simulation programs using Augmented/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) in various industries such as nursing and construction worldwide due to safety and high cost issues. Additionally, the need for collaboration among workers within a country or across multiple countries for practical training and education is expanding in certain industries. However, there […]

Le projet vise à moderniser et améliorer les outils numériques utilisés par Hydro-Québec pour prévoir la demande en électricité au Québec et mettre en oeuvre des stratégies d’autocorrection. Les développements attendus per-mettront d’augmenter la capacité de maintenance et d’amélioration de ces outils par Hydro-Québec, et de les rendre plus efficaces. Hydro-Québec sera ainsi plus à […]

Canada, Mexico, and United States are members of a free trade agreement (USMCA), which seek to build stronger local supply chains and stimulate financing in strategic industries, such as lithium batteries, semiconductor chips, and green energy sources. Because, due to the pandemic situation and the reduction of chips production, companies, and government from USMCA are […]

Printed electronics is a field of electronics that involves printing of electronic devices and components on a variety of substrates, including paper, plastic, and textiles. This technology uses printing techniques including inkjet printing, screen printing and gravure printing to create circuits, sensors, displays and other electronic devices. Advantages of printed electronics include low-cost production, design […]

GestureLogic is building a product that optimizes athletic performance. The product is a wearable sensory network that monitors muscle activity. The goal of this research is to take this inherently complex muscle data that is acquired by the sensory network and translate it to useful biometrics for the consumer with the help of intelligent algorithms.
