St. Clair College has received a generous donation of nearly $19,000 from AIS Technologies Group Inc. to support research and development projects and fund three scholarships.
St. Clair College received a $440,000 grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to develop solutions for manufacturers transitioning from traditional production processes to advanced technology as global competition ramps up in what is being described as the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
St. Clair College student researchers are developing an automated way to package sweet peppers for the greenhouse industry by connecting a people-friendly robot with a sophisticated vision system.
The tricky part is the robot must put two yellow, two red and two orange peppers in each bag destined for a grocery store shelf.
