Intelligent Technologies - mp4 PresentationCCIT Intelligent Technologies research consists of a wide range of areas. The main focus aims at the development of smart technologies through collaboration between many research groups such as: Geomatics, Electrical, Computer, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Engineering. This research will have an impact on navigation, wireless location, personal and data communication systems, internet-based multi-media, as well as the energy, infrastructure and manufacturing sectors.

The ATIPS (Advanced Technology Information Processing Systems) group leverages the use of highly advanced and emerging computing technologies to conduct research into the development and implementation of a variety of information processing systems. These systems include high performance digital signal processors, machine vision systems, information security systems, streaming video processors, bio-engineering devices, arithmetic intensive processors, wireless networking components, and opto-electronic sensors.

Development of wireless technologies is being carried out at CCIT. Expertise in navigation, manufacturing and information technologies is being combined to deliver innovative solutions to complex engineering problems. The PLAN (Position, Location And Navigation) group focuses on planned and opportunity driven research and development of advanced positioning, outdoor and indoor location and navigation methods. A wide range of technologies based on GPS, Galileo, self-contained sensors, and their integration are being investigated in collaboration with numerous government and industrial groups. Many of these new methods, processes and algorithms are embedded in software that is commercially licensed to third parties.

New rapid prototyping processes and materials will enable faster production of quality products and tooling. The key objectives include

  • theories and tools for life cycle design engineering.
  • intelligent-agent based planning and control systems for manufacturing processes and systems.
  • precision rapid prototyping for quality production of complex products.

Application of the research outcomes will reduce production costs and enable faster responses to changing demand. Canadian manufacturers will therefore improve their ability to compete
