Design of lightweight parts made by wire and arc additive manufacturing – BeShape
WAAM manufacturing processes using an electric arc to fuse a filler metal in wire form. The 3D part is thus generated by stacking welding beads from any type of weldable material. WAAM processes have the advantage of being more productive and less expensive than other Additive Manufacturing (AM) tec
Capture of the operational Traces of the company’s actors to build human Capital and define the winning Processes – CaTCaP
In an industrial context characterized by a high complexity in business processes and proliferation of information systems, the company's actors implement many learnings and practices to overcome this complexity. These learnings and practices encompass implicit and explicit competences that we aim t
Robot collaboratif – CoBot
To date, the necessary safety conditions for collaboration between machine and man have not been met. Humans have a flexible architecture and their behaviour has been largely optimised in the course of evolution. Despite the technological progress of recent years, no robot can yet collaborate with h
Decoding and monitoring operators’ cognitive states – BLADE
This project describes basic research in neuroscience aiming at identifying, decoding and monitoring over time, three cognitive processes: 1) experience of control (control vs no-control), 2) attentional state (divided vs focused attention), and 3) confidence level in one’s own decisions (low vs hig
Data-based engineering science and technology of polymers and filled polymers – Data-BEST
The polymer industry is typically facing these new challenges for the production of new materials with new functional and integrated properties in different domains of applications. Nowadays, although new technologies are emerging (3D printing) polymer processing is still based on conventional appro
CREativity in Additive Manufacturing – CREAM
The objective of this ANR project is to propose a suite of tools and methods of creativity in Additive Manufacturing (AM) based on intermediate objects of AM, in order to promote awareness, creativity and organizational integration of the FA to the design teams. The associated scientific lock lies i
Learning Intelligible Task Models for Cobots Programming – Prog4Yu
The ambition of cobotics (or collaborative robotics) in industrial environments is to «get the industrial robot out of its protective cage« to work close to human operators on the same workstation. Man and Robot work safely together, side-by-side, on tasks combining physical effort and human experti
Planning and flexible work assignment to operators in aeronautic assembly lines: a systemic approach for addressing ergonomic and economic risks – PER4MANCE
Project PER4MANCE aims to develop an innovative systemic approach to manage the resource planning and work assignment in aeronautics sector. The expected positive impact of this novel systemic approach includes: improvement of the quality of the resource planning and the efficiency of the resource u
Cable-driven parallel Robots for Agile operations in manufacturing FaciliTies – CRAFT
Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs) form a particular class of parallel robots whose moving platform is connected to a fixed base frame by cables. The performance improvement of CDPRs is still a challenge because the cable unilaterality (cables can pull but cannot push) makes their analysis much mo
Cloud Adaptation for an Agile Supply Chain – CAASC
The CAASC project considers a supply chain where independent partners accept to share in a cloud platform a series of information about their mid-term plans. Maintenance and misalignment of these plans is a major source of problems (stock-outs, over-stocks, distribution over-costs, irrelevant capaci
Deterministic networking for the industry with virtualised networks – DET4ALL
Within a decade we witnessed a fundamental change in industrial production with the generalisation of cyber physical system allowing automation of production; not only used for mass production but also for small series or even for individual or bespoke products. In parallel to this evolution, the
STrategies for the real-time control of ARoma production during WINE fermentation – STARWINE
Nowadays, a multiplicity of wines is proposed on the international market. The main characteristic that enables to discriminate these wines is their sensorial profile. In recent years, the “international” taste of wine consumers is rather focused on the fruity aromas. As a consequence, to maintain i
Enabling working methods for human-machine collaboration in industry 4.0 – COLLABORATION-4_0
Collaboration 4.0 project is a contribution to the main industry of the future challenge of the efficient place of humans in the factory of the future. Industry of the future means the high-tech digitalization of production systems to get more flexibility of the whole value chain to achieve personal
Spectral Polarization Imaging Applied to Surface Inspection – SPIASI
Polarimetric imaging enables the analysis of the polarization states of a reflected light beam. Many works have shown its benefits in computer vision, particularly in applications such as specular reflection removing, decamouflage or dehazing. On the other hand, multispectral imaging performs effi
