Whipser Technologies – Business Development & Marketing Internship – Simar & Tran

A technology start-up, Whipser Technologies is a peer-to-peer car rentals marketplace. We aim to establish a trusted platform where our customers can rent a car they need, wherever they need it, across Canada. Currently, we face challenges encountered by many start-ups, including the lack of resources to support us in understanding our customer needs and allow us to develop a thorough marketing plan and establish our brand in the market. This project will help us overcome some of the challenges, as the Business Development & Marketing Interns will be trained to conduct specific searches and will support us to develop appropriate strategies in order to increase our B2B Business Development and sales opportunities as well as amplify our social media presence on all different channels, such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. This project is part of a software build, where our interns will have exclusive access and exposure to a large tech application that is being built from scratch.

Development of operational control system for multi-robot coordination in a fleet based environment

Operating a fleet of autonomous robots introduces challenges such as reduced safety for humans working around the robots, reliability of intern communication of the robots, coordination behaviour of the robots, etc. At Fourien we have developed autonomous robots which work very well as stand alone units but there is a need of development of a fleet of the robots so that multiple robots can be deployed to perform complex tasks of material handling on a large factory floor. Through this project, we are targeting to perform research and development to fund solutions for coordinated task management among multiple robots when they work in a team.

The Automation of System AssemblyRecognition

Traditional 3D reverse-engineering and prototyping involves 3D modeling and manual parts recognition. With the advent of 3D scanning technologies, it becomes possible to automate this workflow. This research internship aims at creating a novel mechanism to automate the process of assembly recognition, as part of a new workflow of 3D interactive prototyping. The research will be focused on technologies and algorithms suitable for volume graphics model. Research topic includes 3D shape matching, alignment and recognition. Prototypes will be built to verify and evaluate the research results.

Development of Inherently Antimicrobial Fabrics

Pleasant aromas fill our homes and enrich our lives, whether it’s by helping us relax after a long day’s work or evoking some of our fondest memories. This project will test scented fabrics prepared by Aroma Textiles Lab for their ability to inhibit the growth of the bacteria that are commonly found on our skin and on sweat-soaked fabrics. The same essential oils that give these fabrics their pleasant aroma also have significant antimicrobial activity, and so if successful this work will identify fabrics that are not only pleasing to the nose, but are free from microbes and thus stay fresher longer.

Valorisation de sous-produits de la luzerne dans le secteur des cosméceutiques

Les produits cosmétiques et de santé naturels représentent le segment dont la croissance est la plus rapide au cours des
dernières années dans le marché des produits de soin. Ces produits ont des applications variées dont l’efficacité repose sur le
choix des ingrédients actifs. La luzerne produite au Québec par le partenaire, propose un ingrédient particulièrement
intéressant pour l’industrie par sa composition chimique, mais également leurs cultures locales. Les études sur l’activité
biologique des chloroplaste de luzerne ont démontré un potentiel antioxydant important et d’autres activités biologiques
restent à découvrir. Dans le cadre de ce projet, les partenaires souhaitent donc valoriser la luzerne pour le secteur des
cosmétiques.

Market 360 AI: AI-enabled Discovery of Customer and Market Insights

Organizations across various industries struggle to deliver personalized offerings and expanded access for target populations. Developing sub-population profiles will help identify priority sub-populations with the greatest potential to benefit from personalized support and intervention, and inform the development, targeting and delivery of personalized offerings. The objective of this research project is to enhance Deloitte’s Market 360 AI tool across 3 dimensions. Firstly, the project aims to improve the tool’s time-series clustering methodology with the goal of delivering meaningful and interpretable results, as well as allowing for the ingestion of high-dimensional data. Secondly, the project will study different application of this tool across different markets, including but not limited to the drug discovery industry. Finally, the project aims to develop a methodology that can accurately determine the latest market size for higher-level geographic areas.

Multimodal Geolocation and Traffic Management in Healthcare Centers

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an emerging need of using new advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve our healthcare system to manage a massive influx of patients. Indoor geolocation techniques and optimized traffic management algorithms are substantial for serving a large number of patients in healthcare centers while respecting procedures and protocols implemented during the pandemic. In this project, we will develop a framework which combines the signal from multiple communications techniques to precisely locate the position of users in a center. We will also apply multiple artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques to improve the geolocation and filter interferences. Then, we will assess the risk of COVID-19 infection of people living in a building or a healthcare facility. The framework will be implemented on Nano Data Center (NDC) edge computing platform of Humanitas’s to perform real-time assessment. The outcome of this project will contribute significantly to reopening our society and economy in post-pandemic era.

Ubiquity: Intelligent Supply Chain Management

The intern will first determine which one of the two modules in the Ubiquity product is more likely to be improved using the machine learning and deep learning methods, and then implement the proposed method or research on other methods. To improve the sensitivity of the pricing and promotion module towards the small price changes, the intern will use deep neural network to improve the existing forecasting model. For the assortment planning module, the intern will evaluate and choose various machine learning algorithms to learn the interaction between items’ inventory and forecast the demand of all assortments in the future. The benefits of both modules including the improvement of the performance of the existing demand forecasting models in the Ubiquity product.

Classical and Quantum Metaheuristic Optimization Tools to Improve the Constrained Vehicle Routing Problem Solutions

The constrained vehicle routing problem is a typical optimization problem with many real-life applications, such as last-mile route planning for delivery services. The goal is to find the optimal routes for a set of vehicles to deliver all the packages, such that the time and cost of delivery is minimized, sometimes with additional constraints such as a loading capacity for each vehicle. In recent years, quantum computing has started to show great potential in providing a speedup to optimization solutions. This project aims to understand the current state-of-the-art classical solutions to the vehicle routing problem and explore the application of quantum computing in this field, with the hope of developing a quantum hybrid algorithm that a customer will eventually use to improve their logistics planning.
