Toward Intelligent Adaptable Robots for Agriculture – Tiara
The use of robotics in agriculture appears as a lever capable of supporting the necessary reduction of the environmental impact of human activities, while maintaining production levels compatible with a growing world population. The necessary reduction of chemical products indeed requires the develo
Toute l'Intelligence Artificielle à Rennes
Le projet TIARe est déployé depuis mars 2023 (lancement le 26 juin). L’équipe exécutive projet recrutée jusqu’à maintenant comprend un chef de projet, une gestionnaire administrative et financière, un chargé de communication. Les 5 référents des actions proposées ont organisé des réunions d’enseigna
Tolérance à la sécheresse et à la chaleur chez les plantes grâce à la conception d'ARN longs non codants assistée par l'IA – DHARP
Rice is one of the most important food crops globally, but its productivity is highly vulnerable to climate change, especially to increasing episodes of drought and extreme heat. These stresses often occur together and have a significant impact on yield and food security. While traditional breeding
The role of the Initial Accent in prosodic structuring in French - from phonology to speech processing – PhonIACog
The present project aims at describing the characteristics of the French accentual system in order to bring to light the underlying phonological structure of this language. It addresses the status of the bipolar pattern /IA FA/ (initial accent-final accent), considered as the basic metric pattern in
The properties and evolution of large and cold dust particles between the stars – Cold Dust
A major and long-standing puzzle in astrophysics is the exact nature of the large interstellar grains that contain the bulk of the dust mass. From the interstellar medium (ISM) in nearby star forming regions to the ISM in distant galaxies it is the observed Far-IR to mm wavelength (FIR-mm) thermal e
The evolution of information use in ecology – EVO-INF-COL
Evolution by natural selection can only occur if differences among individuals are transmitted among generations, i.e. if variation is heritable. Thus, one of the great challenges in evolution is to understand the informational mechanisms underlying heritability. Recent studies in behavioral ecology
The New IRAM KID Arrays (NIKA): a continuum camera for millimeter wave astronomy – NIKA
In May 2011, IRAM (Institut de Radioastronomie Millimétrique) issued a call for tender for the next generation continuum instrumentation of the 30-m telescope at Pico Veleta (Spain). The NIKA (New IRAM KIDs Arrays) consortium answered with a detailed proposal to build a large-format, dual-color (150
The Historical Geography of Upper Mesopotamia in the 2nd Mill. BC. An Interdisciplinary Research Project – HIGEOMES
The geo-strategical situation and the multifold conditions of the natural environment accounted massively for importance of Upper Mesopotamia within the history of the Ancient Near East. The concrete physical parameters of the region influenced the degree and forms of its socio-economic approriation
The Chirality of Genes – CHIRGEN
The asymmetric photochemistry of nucleotide precursor molecules at synchrotron SOLEIL is dependent upon on the chiroptical properties of these molecules and will most certainly initially yield only small enantiomeric excesses (e.e.s), as we have already observed for amino acids. Thus any asymmetry p
Supernova Cosmology Inference – SCInf
The standard model of cosmology is confronted to two serious tensions: the current expansion rate is measured 5s faster than expectations given early cosmic age data (e.g. CMB) ; the dark energy equation of state parameter deviates at the 4s level from what is expected for a simple cosmological co
