The objective is to design, develop, and test the power system in a next-generation rough-terrain utility vehicle developed by Dumur Industries, with particular focus on the battery used and its own power management system. The vehicle propulsion is via tank-type tracks that transmit power from the front to the back wheels via continuous chain-type tracks. […]

A critical step in the fight against COVID-19 is effective screening of infected patients for infection detection and risk assessment. While viral testing such as rt-PCR is the gold standard for infection detection as it is highly specific, it is moderately sensitive and is a very time-consuming, laborious, and complicated manual process that is in […]

The main goal of this project is to develop a more advanced version of the Robotic Stairclimbing Assistant (ROSA), a stair-climbing domestic service robot developed by Quantum Robotic Systems. ROSA can carry heavier household items (e.g., laundry baskets, bins, etc.) between rooms and up stairs. ROSA is meant to help seniors, people with compromised mobility, […]

As a global leader of industrial footwear insoles, MegaComfort is actively engaged in developing innovative products to maintain healthy workers and prevent injuries. The goal of this research project is to provide a system that is able to scan a human foot from a single image or sequence of images (video) and be able to […]

Current video codecs consider algorithms to analyze video imagery in order to find out which bits can be removed for file size reduction without subjective video frame degradation. Integrating AI with encoding process improves the quality of encoding and decoding. AI permits the software to proactively assess the quality of the encoded video before transmission. […]

The goal of this project is to develop and integrate the required technology to create food wrapping materials that can tell any untrained consumer if the food is safe to eat, without the need to use sophisticated equipment. This will be achieved by incorporating a barcode-type biosensor on an antifouling food wrap. The biosensor is […]

MicroLED displays are of growing interest and are seen as a next generation display technology for leading-edge displays of all sizes, from head-mounted displays for virtual reality through portables (watches and cell phones) to televisions and wall-size displays. Red, green and blue light emission from blue-emitting Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) would replace the use of […]

Precision agriculture practices increase productivity while rationalizing farm inputs. It mitigates the adverse impacts of chemical inputs on the environment. The variable rate is one of the commonly used precision agriculture practices where inputs are applied based on site-specific needs. CropPro Consulting uses soil properties like electrical conductivity, topography, and water flow patterns to generate […]

Envision SQ Inc. (EnvisionSQ), in a joint effort with the University of Guelph, is currently working on applications of their NanoCleanSQ disinfectant-sanitizer to help slow down the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the virus that causes COVID-19). NanoCleanSQ is a clear coating material and acts as a photocatalytic disinfectant that can be easily applied to […]

Hydrocarbon production methods extract mass from the subsurface and consequently change the density distribution. Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) uses steam to enhance the heavy oil in the subsurface which mobilizes it and allows it to be pumped to the surface. Today, we do not know very accurately, where oil is produced and where steam […]

The proposed project mainly focuses on developing an innovative gas/liquid contacting technology that is of critical importance to a wide range of process industries and environmental-management operations. Successful development and implementation of this project are expected to: ? Reduce the environmental impact of a variety of operations that are needed to meet human needs and […]

Globally, all small and large industrial operations pay high and increasing costs to compensate for the damage and losses caused by corrosion. Based on the statistics, in Canada, various industries spend more than $80 billion per year collectively to cover the direct and indirect costs of corrosion. Annually, hundreds of people are injured or killed […]
