Fusionner mouvement de danse et son en temps réel

Ce projet vise à développer un outil innovant pour les arts vivants, en particulier la danse, en intégrant la technologie numérique pour créer une expérience immersive. L’outil associe des mouvements de danse à des sons correspondants en temps réel. Le projet utilise des capteurs de mouvement portés par des artistes pour transmettre des données en temps réel à un logiciel. Un algorithme d’apprentissage profond permettra la reconnaissance de mouvement pour déclencher les sons correspondants aux mouvements. Ce projet promet d’enrichir l’expérience spectateur et d’ouvrir de nouvelles avenues créatives pour les artistes, tout en positionnant le CRITAC à l’avant-garde de l’innovation en performance humaine.

Logging, Winter Streamflow and Flooding in Twinflower Creek

The livelihood of First Nation communities and local ranchers are primarily depending on cattle raising, yet ongoing salvage logging within the catchment has the potential to compromise the watershed hydrology resulting in higher peak flows and reduced low flows jeopardizing the channel stability, road safety and water availability. The intern will carry out field investigations in recent cutblocks within the watershed during the freshet season to seek linkages between flood risks associated salvage logging. The field investigations will combine and supplement computational work utilizing regional maps and previous harvesting layouts to interpret overall watershed conditions to reveal the effects of salvage logging and forest roads on the summer and winter low flow hydrology. The outcomes of this research project will provide associated partners a final report:1, outlining the conditions where salvage logging will result in increased spring flood risk and reduced summer and winter water supply and 2, identifying strategies to mitigate associated hydrologic problems to maintain a balance between long term timber extraction and sustainable water supply.

Étude de scalabilité de l’Optimisation Bayésienne pour systèmes de neurostimulations embarqués

L’un des défis les plus actuels des agents d’apprentissages autonomes (ou I.A.) appliqués aux outils médicaux est la capacité de les appliquer pour des systèmes embarqués sur appareils de petite taille, portables ou même directement embarqués dans le corps humain. En interface neuronales, le développement de compagnies comme Neuralink consiste principalement dans la miniaturisation de leurs circuits et, conséquemment, d’embarquer algorithmes de processing du signal et de décision hautement performants, à faible usage de ressource.
Pour le cadre algorithmique de l’Optimisation Bayesienne basé sur des Processus Gaussiens (GPBO), il n’est cependant pas établi quelles sont les lois de mise à l’échelle en systèmes embarqués, ni comme des améliorations algorithmiques peuvent améliorer son applicabilité à des cas à ressources très limités.

Nous proposons d’adapter le cadre algorithmique GPBO à n’importe quelle disponibilité de ressource physique en termes de mémoire et capacité computationnelle, à travers :
1) le sous-échantillonnage adaptif de l’espace de recherche, pour l’adapter aux ressources disponibles,
2) la compression et taille de l’information accumulée, pour gérer l’optimisation continue sur n’importe quel horizon temporel.

Nanostructuration et régénération pour un biocapteur plasmonique ultrasensible

Le projet Épistorm consiste à développer un capteur optique pour détecter des concentrations de micro-ARNs de l’ordre du femtomolaire alors que la sensibilité classique du système utilisé est de l’ordre du nanomolaire. Pour gagner ces cinq ordres de grandeur, nous visons à combiner deux méthodes d’amplification du signal : volumique et surfacique. La doctorante du projet a développer une méthode d’amplification volumique grâce à des nanoparticules d’or et optimisé un procédé de fabrication pour les biocapteurs plus performants basés sur une surface nanostructurées . Ces dernières devraient nous permettre d’aller cherche l’ordre de grandeur nous manquant pour atteindre la limite de détection (LOD) requise pour le projet. Les deux stagiaires impliqués dans la présente demande vont tester la fonctionnalisation de surface des échantillons nanostructurés et adapter nos instruments SPRI pour faire les mesures à la longueur d’onde requise par ces échantillons (capacité multispectrale). De plus, ils rajouteront un système d’illumination UV à l’appareil existant et optimiseront les séquences ADN pour déclencher des réactions de photo-isomérisation sur le couple sonde/cible et régénérer nos biopuces nanostructurées dispendieuses pour pouvoir les réutiliser.

Algorithme de Permutation de batterie et ramassage de vélos brisé en temps réel pour Vélo-Partage

Lisplogics est une entreprise de recherche opérationnelle se concentrant sur l’optimisation et l’automatisation des opérations en temps réel dans les secteurs de la mobilité partagée et des transports. Lisplogics compte notamment parmi ses clients, Bixi et Communauto.

Ce stage est stratégique pour LispLogics et devrait permettre de répondre aux défis suivants :
Augmenter l’efficacité opérationnelle des clients vélo-partage
Réduire les délais de maintenance des vélos pour les clients.
Améliorer la satisfaction des usagers de vélos-partage grâce à une meilleure disponibilité des vélos électriques.
La solution permettra aux clients de LispLogics d’augmenter leur revenus suite à un taux d’indisponibilité diminué des vélos électriques donc une utilisation accrue.
Créer un avantage compétitif de la solution SAAS de répartition de tâches en temps réel de Lisplogics.

Pragmatica UWaterloo Co-op

The project will consist of helping develop the core product of the company, which is a Virtual Reality (VR) application containing activities that mimic the type of exercises done in speech therapy sessions. The premise of the product is to have a library of activities that target different communication skills, allowing its users to practice their communication skills from the comfort of their own homes without a therapist present. Accordingly, the project will entail the development of those activities and other features like the user interface, data analysis and voice recognition. This would greatly help accelerate the company’s progress and aid them in entering the market at a much faster rate, as well as reaching different customer segments that each have different sets of communication skills to work on.

Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre Project

A long-standing community-based organization, the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre (SFBLC) started as a temporary project in the summer of 1983. A year later, it was incorporated as a non-profit entity and remains “committed to ensuring a food-secure community where all people have access to safe, affordable, and nutritious
food.” The SFBLC currently offers a variety of programs, services and initiatives addressing the underlying causes of food insecurity and poverty in the city of Saskatoon.
Approaching its 40th anniversary, the organization wishes to examine and share its own history. In anticipation of this event, the SFBLC is partnering with the University of Saskatchewan History Department’s Co-Lab—Centre for Community-Engaged and Collaborative Historical Research (Co-Lab) to review and document its organizational history, highlighting the organization’s important contribution to the city of Saskatoon. The project will create a report and several short videos documenting this history.
