Description

Like other forms of teaching and learning activities at the college, applied research activities have had to rapidly transform the way we work. For this session we will highlight two successful projects. The first is 2Unify; a Startup company founded by students graduates from McMaster university, using AI and machine vision to bring to market an automated guitar tuning stand.

The second is Petal; a Startup company that makes a zero-odor germ freezing waste bin.

We will also touch on how at CAMDT (Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Design Technologies) we adopted new processes and technology to allow applied research activities to continue to a limited extent.

To continue working in a safe effective manner, we had to shift our operations to be able to execute tasks remotely. We integrated online tools and software that enabled remote manufacturing using 3D printing. We worked with online project management and machine monitoring platforms to track and maintain equipment use.

These efforts helped reduce the amount of in person activity on campus. Integrating all these online tools opened new avenues for interdisciplinary collaboration, and at the same time inadvertently increased the need for cybersecurity!

Join us for this 20-minute session to learn more and get involved.
