Stabilization process in marine surface robotics inspired by swimming snakes – SSSNAEQ
In order to develop a truly bio-inspired approach, the strength of SSSNAEQ lies in a multi-disciplinary study at the intersection of biology, physics and robotics. The scientific challenge here is to develop new models of fluid-structure interactions at the surface of a fluid, concise enough to
The HUman Supply cHain behind smart technologies – HUSH
The production of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions relies on the crucial, yet often invisible, contribution of “microworkers” in long global production chains. These workers perform microtasks essential to preparing the data needed for AI development, such as labeling images or verifying trans
Advanced Monte Carlo Methods for Medical Physics – MoCaMed
The numerical simulation of particle transport in medical physics, known as Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), is widely used in the research and development of medical imaging systems and radiotherapy treatment systems. However, the growing need for detailed and accurate simulations results in extremely
Autonomous Robotic Platform for Orchards Navigation – ARPON
21st-century agriculture faces two major challenges: increasing production to meet the needs of a growing global population, and addressing labor shortages while improving working conditions. The increase in production must be considered within the context of economic and environmental constraints,
Rational design of chemosensory compounds targeting smell, taste and emotion – chemosim
ChEmoSim is a fundamental and highly multidisciplinary project. It gathers academic experts in computational modeling, protein engineering, neuroscience, and a company expert in sensory analysis. The research hypothesis is that numerical models can crack the code of chemosensory sensations. To achie
Zoos are places where primates meet: How knowledge about others affects intersecting perceptions between nonhuman primates and humans? – PRIMAZOO
Many people interact with exotic animals during their visits to the zoo. However, the existence of zoos is controversial because of the ethical issues surrounding the captivity of animals, despite the growing involvement of zoos in public education and the conservation of biodiversity. Moreover, few
The evolution of extended phenotypes and associated signals in animals : weaverbirds’ nests and sexual selection as a case study – EXTENDEDPHENOTYPE
Objective 1 – Weaver nests are one of the most spectacular and diverse radiations of extended phenotypes. What is the role of sexual selection in shaping weaving pattern? In cognitive science, a processing bias refers to a preference for stimuli that are efficiently processed by the visual system a
Forensic Research using Isotope Intra-Molecular Experiments: Development and use of quantitative 13C and 15N NMR spectrometry – FRIIME
Until now, it is the concept of profiling of the illicit product that is commonly used as a tool to fight drug trafficking. This profiling is carried out from the contents of impurities, residual solvents, etc from the synthesis. The same objective will be pursued in the FRIIME project but using the
Optimization of Urban Synchromodal Systems – OPUSS
The goal of the OPUSS project is to design advanced optimization algorithms to support the planning of synchromodal urban delivery networks. According to this objective, we propose to achieve fundamental advances on major challenges of synchromodal urban systems, which are the choice among alternati
Driver - Automated Vehicle Cooperation – CoCoVeA
The consortium in the CoCoVeA project proposes: • to develop a cooperative architecture between drivers and assistance systems for automated driving (sharing of vehicle control); • to implement these systems on demonstrators, in driving simulators and on real vehicles; • to experimentally validat
