This project aims to develop a reinforcement learning agent with access to depth cameras to aid map building for SLAM. Research has shown dynamic environments, where the majority of frame is taken up by dynamic objects, along with low fidelity and lighting can lead to low robustness in practical application. We hope to use reinforcement […]

Health data usage is regulated by health data regulation, such as PHIPA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHIPA). To support the increasing demand in healthcare, systems utilizing digital storage and processing personal data has become essential, e.g. hospital data management systems. However, these systems are often complex and prone to data theft, misuse, and other data privacy concerns. Therefore, satisfying […]

L’Institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec-Université Laval (IUCPQ-UL) est responsable du programme de soins et des services spécialisés et surspécialisés dans le traitement des maladies cardiovasculaires, respiratoires et en lien avec l’obésité, Afin d’accomplir cette mission, un ensemble de cliniques internes et externes (ou ambulatoires) sont rassemblées sous un même toit. La […]

Sleep-related breathing disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, can be life threatening. Although solutions exist to treat these disorders, like Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and oral appliances including Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs), there are several issues relating to cost, comfort, and convenience with the products that are on the market today. This applied design […]

Network attacks are becoming more complex every day. It is crucial that we use tools that can detect these sophisticated attacks on networks so that we can identify malicious behavior and prevent attacks and intrusions. The use of machine learning to create intrusion detection engines is great, and we need enough data to train these […]

eThor is a startup company that develops applications for mobile devices in the area of e-commerce for wholesale and retail customers, initially in the restaurant industry. The internships proposed in this application relate to the expansion of data gathering, data mining and social network capabilities for the applications development. The data gathered will be transformed […]

Today, small satellites are launched in large constellations like Starlink and Globalstar for space-based services, such as communications and weather monitoring. This rapid growth in space objects has become a real threat for space operation. In response to this issue of the growing population of space objects, Magellan is developing technologies to provide extensive and […]

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) enable exciting experiences such as virtual tourism or participation in a live concert from home. These applications are expected to benefit the society as well as being a source of significant revenues. However, such applications are very bit rate- and computation-intensive. The recent MPEG Immersive Video (MIV) format, […]

While much of how we interact with the world is grounded in the body, embodied forms of knowledge have received little attention in research and practice. The inherent difficulty in communicating embodied experiences, and the paucity of tools to do so, poses a significant barrier to sharing it—a problem which is only exacerbated by our […]

There is an urgent need for carbon free sources of energy to mitigate the climate change effects. Hydrogen is a very promising fuel to transition to climate-friendly energy and sustainable energy future. However, most hydrogen is produced from carbon sources and thus undesired emissions are unavoidable during the production. One key solution is to use […]

We will develop complex image analysis processes to advance and tighten our current processes and more accurately and speedily identify bare spots and in addition develop new processes to identify specific weeds that cause problems in wild blueberry fields. Using spatially accurate drone photography of wild blueberry fields the intern would use custom programming logic […]

Many companies and organisations are required to engage in community engagement to gather stakeholder feedback. Yet, to date, there are key issues with current stakeholder engagement systems as they are inefficient, manual, and prone to error. The aim of this study is to investigate the current state of artificial intelligence and data visualization techniques with […]
