Title:

Development of a new Power-to-X technology for one-step flue gas conversion into low-carbon energy vectors

Agreement Number:

961569

Agreement Value:

$185,900.00

Agreement Date:

Nov 9, 2020 - Aug 31, 2023

Description:

This project proposes the development of AI-based tools for the identification and monitoring of environment dynamics, their effect on a remote robotic platform behavior, and the adaptation of the latter to maintain stability and performance. The AI tools that will be developed during this project will contribute to increasing the level of autonomy of aerial cargo systems by providing adaptability to unknown and changing environment conditions (related to both remote site and human operator). By monitoring system behavior, these AI tools will also contribute to optimizing the dynamic response of these cargo systems during operation, thereby maximizing safety and reliability. The implementation and validation of these tools using digital twins and virtual environments will also bring the capacity for planning new operations, training and system robustness evaluation in the presence of unknown and changing conditions.

Organization:

National Research Council Canada

Expected Results:

In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
