Conception, fabrication et programmation d’un drone autonome capable d’atterrir sur la canopée pour l’acquisition de données en forêt tropicale.

L’objectif du projet est de produire un drone capable d’atterrir de façon autonome dans la canopée pour y transporter des charges utiles permettant de récupérer des données sur l’environnement. Des technologies novatrices, comportant une partie mécanique et informatique, sont nécessaires pour y arriver. Premièrement, un train d’atterrissage doit être développé pour protéger les hélices des branches sans affecter les caractéristiques de vol du drone. Il doit aussi permettre au drone d’être stable au repos dans la canopée. Ensuite, un algorithme de vision basé sur une caméra apte à percevoir la profondeur doit être développé pour détecter une zone d’atterrissage sécuritaire dans le feuillage. Ces deux éléments sont finalement combinés à des technologies de contrôle existantes pour effectuer des manoeuvres d’atterrissage autonome sur la canopée des forêts tropicales.

Effectiveness of Sophia Recovery Centre’s Lotus Pond Program

The present study will examine the effectiveness of the Sophia Recovery Centre’s Lotus Pond program in terms of outcomes for Sophia Guests on measures of well-being, quality of life, and substance use behaviour goals, the quality of peer recovery support experienced by Sophia Guests, and the efficiency of Sophia Peers at providing peer recovery support. The study will also compare characteristics of Sophia Guests who remain in the Lotus Pond program to those who withdraw. Findings from this study will be used to improve Sophia’s peer recovery support process.

Concept d’opération pour améliorer le processus d’optimisation de l’efficacité énergétique pour l’ensemble du cycle de vie du bâtiment

L’objectif principal du projet de recherche est de développer une approche d’optimisation de l’efficacité énergétique d’un bâtiment à chaque étape du processus de conception à l’aide de la simulation énergétique. Ceci dans le but d’assurer une meilleure conception des bâtiments futurs à l’aide de données recueillies dans des bâtiments existants similaires en formulant des recommandations pour la conception. L’approche proposée vise à améliorer les pratiques de l’entreprise partenaire en offrant un support au niveau de l’approche de simulation. Les retombées pour l’entreprise partenaire sont les suivantes :
? Amélioration de l’utilisation des outils de simulation énergétique.
? Aide de prise à la décision par rapport au processus d’optimisation à préconiser pendant la conception.
? Aide à la prise de décision et l’élaboration de solutions concertées, concrètes.

Machine learning model for corrosion detection and assessment for pad mounted equipment

Corrosion of electrical utility infrastructure represents a major operational challenge that currently relies on labor-intensive manual inspections. This project aims to develop an automated machine learning system to detect and assess corrosion using publicly available street-level imagery, enabling frequent, low-cost monitoring across the distribution network. The proposed methodology will leverage recent advances in object detection and semantic segmentation. Upon successful development, the corrosion detection system will be integrated into EPCOR’s asset management workflow. Automated analysis of public imagery can provide frequent, low-cost monitoring to prioritize field inspections and maintenance activities. Reducing operational costs while extending asset life represents major potential cost savings for the utility industry.
