The speaker develops a decentralised communication framework for collaborative robots (cobots). By removing the central server and enabling robots to communicate directly through estimating unknown variables, the system reduces cost, time, and…
This project develops a strategy to improve visibility and engagement for film archives like the TIFF Film Reference Library. By addressing access barriers and promoting community partnerships, it aims to increase public awareness and support. The…
This research uses a traffic analogy to explain gas transport challenges in carbon dioxide electrolysis devices. Despite identical porosity, microstructural connectivity determines performance under flooding conditions. Computational modelling…
This research highlights high stress levels in creative industries and examines gaps in post-secondary curricula. By analysing course content through project management theory, it identifies missing focus on risk, conflict, and change management.…
