Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Next-Generation Autonomous Robotic Cleaning Systems Platform
1011615
Avidbots has ambitious growth goals in 2024 and we plan to run a series of R&D and Business Innovation projects to accomplish them. Both the technical and business innovations in this project will help get Canadian technology into global markets faster, at higher volumes, which will result in benefits to Canada in 2024.
IRAP support will help us create a new generation of hardware and software technology platforms which can be applied to an autonomous multi-robot fleet as independent modules. These modules will enhance R&D timelines for future robotic devices and open our products to more markets. IRAP support will also help us scale our go-to-market efforts to reach new strategic prospects and enter new geographies like the EU.

Autonomous navigation & coverage for complex organic layouts in dynamic retail environments
968363
In order for robots to autonomously navigate commercial retail environments in a safe and efficient manner, there is a need to develop algorithms that can reason effectively in highly confined areas, cluttered with constantly changing obstacles, in organic layouts. Safety is paramount in these environments to avoid human injury and property damage. Advanced state-of-the-art software algorithms are required to be developed to achieve this goal.

Autonomous navigation for robotic floor cleaners in commercial retail environments
929982
Avidbots designs, manufactures, and markets autonomous robotic floor cleaning equipment for a variety of industries including commercial, government, hospital, education and retail customers. The current product, NEO, primarily operates in large facilities such as airports, malls, factories, and institutional buildings.
This Project is to develop new and improved autonomous navigation software suitable for smaller, more complex environments such as Big Box retail and grocery stores with narrower physical locations subject to tighter turning radius and frequently changing route layouts/obstacles (e.g. product displays).
