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.

Adaptive Collaborative Robot (ACobot)
983573
The objective of this project is the installation of wire harnesses on electric motors, drivetrains and battery packs using collaborative robots (Cobots). The project will focus on the development of an adaptive collaborative robot (ACoBot) by integrating a smart Flexible Vision System (FV) with a CoBot. The ACoBot will be using Artificial Intelligence algorithms to identify wire harnesses, electric motors/drivetrain and battery pack components. The system must be easy to deploy with no additional programming when the assembly environment undergoes minor changes. Retraining with new data should happen automatically.

Graduate Automation Programmer
971528
This project addresses an engineering undertaking of utilizing collaborative robots in the assembly of deformable parts. This project aims to automate the installation of various non-linear automotive components through the development of a system that can hold, position, and guide these parts while being installed on a modular subsystem. The automation system will also ensure that connections are made in the correct order by using reliable measurement and force sensing technologies in combination with advanced vision systems.
