Development of unmanned surface vehicle

ABTech

Unmanned Surface Vehicle commonly called USV, are unable to navigate in uncontrolled riverine environnement. They must therefore be supervised at all times in order to avoid obstacles such as shoals, shore and other obstacles on the surface of the water. This is particularly problematic when the objective is to carry ...

Design and experimental characterization of a 3D metal printed miniaturized magnetorheological fluid clutch

Exonetik

When robots are likely to collaborate with humans, it is essential for them to be as transparent as possible to enhance human-robot interactions and reduce risks of injuries. Therefore, it is crucial to have even more responsive actuators. In those types of robots, often magnetorheological fluid (MRF) clutches are used ...

Robot that Cleans Clothes Dryer Exhaust Duct

Oxebo

Inspecting and cleaning of the dryer exhaust pipe is a complicated task due to their small diameter, their tight and multiple elbows, their length and the vertical positioning of some joints. The use of brushes is inefficient for cleaning the pipe, hence the interest in using a mobile robot that ...

Development of a movement library for specific tasks in long term care facilities

Sycodal

This research project originated during the last crisis. This crisis has shown many issues in several countries, Quebec was no exception. One major issue was the lack of nursing staff in CHSLD. Nursing staff had to take care about patients while carrying out all the measures against COVID. It is ...

Use of collaborative robotics to do metrology

Robotiq

One of the first applications where collaborative robots were successful was machining tending. This task, which consists of loading and unloading a machine tool, is still one of the most common tasks for this type of robot. Their use allows them to replace machinists in a non-value added part of ...

Analysis, synthesis, design and prototyping of a redundant parallel robot with (4 + 1) degrees of freedom for collaboration

Develop control laws for a concept of motorized collaborative lift

Arjo

The objective of this project is to develop control laws for a concept of motorized collaborative lift. The goal is to assist nursing assistants in transferring injured or disabled patients. With the average weight of the population increasing, the risk of injury for nursing staff becomes more and more important ...

Soft Gripper based on Magneto rheological clutches

Exonetik

In many industries such as aerospace or construction, workers may have to lift or handle heavy parts or tools in non-ergonomic positions. The use of a supernumerary limb attached to the worker’s body may drastically improve efficiency and safety. This internship project focuses on the design of an end ...

High admittance mecanism for insertion tasks

Robotiq

Insertion tasks in the robotic industry are more common today, especially in collaborative robots. These insertions are often slow and require the movement of the entire robot to achieve the insertion and the movement of a gripper over small distances. This system will accelerate the insertion tasks and possibly be ...
