The VIVAE project focuses on power electronics (PE) systems to increase their lifetime or to preserve the functional, environmental and economic high value of their subsystems with respect to industry constraints. These considerations often delayed or even not studied due to the conservatism of indu

The VIMACO project aims to develop methods and tools for personalized augmented reality for industrial maintenance assistance. It is a collaborative research project (PRCE) involving the LiSPEN (engineering sciences in virtual immersion and artificial intelligence) and CAPS (cognitive sciences) labo

Nowadays, and due to its maturity level, the additive manufacturing technology is used in quasi-industrial applications in various engineering fields, such as aerospace and automotive domains. Many simulations tools and experimental methods enable a better understanding and control of this process,

Following the success of IMAGINE, the consortium aims to extend the integrated decisions from the real-time configuration to the predictive strategy. For intelligent manufacturing processes and systems, dynamic dispatching/scheduling and process/equipment control should be managed in a prognostic wa

Variable stiffness composites (VSCs) from additive manufacturing (AM) process are fundamental for applications requiring lightness and high performances. VSCs are obtained by placing fibres along curvilinear paths within a given topology. However, general design strategies integrating the physical r

Producing complex shaped parts with high added value by hybridizing WXAM and 5-axis machining processes is a major challenge that may contribute to the competitiveness of companies. This requires obtaining rough parts of "near net shape" quality to minimize machining operations and requires controll

Prostheses and orthoses enable people with physical impairments or functional limitations to live healthy, productive, independent, dignified lives and to participate in education, the labour market and social life. The current design and manufacture of Prosthetic and Orthotic device interfaces is d

The development of the industry of the future is based on innovation vectors such as eco-design, digital engineering, artificial intelligence and new materials obtained through innovative processes. The synergies created by the interaction between these different technologies are poorly understood a

The project aims to develop a methodology for the resilient control of supply chains in times of global crisis such as the Covid19 crisis . These are crises where supply discontinuities are long in time and widespread, so that even an adaptation of activities and the transition to a degraded mode of

Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMSs) are not only new manufacturing paradigm offering a customized flexibility. They are also a basis to develop a new generation of sustainable production systems. A promising way toward sustainable production passes through the design and intensive developmen

Collecting and labelling data for machine learning is a time-consuming task, especially in a multimodal context where it is necessary to have labelling in several types of data (B-Rep models, images, point clouds, etc.). The objective of this project is to set up methods for automatically generating

Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS) are currently considered as one of the most promising ways to make companies more adaptable to strong uncertainties. The main idea of RMS is to modify both the physical structure and the structure of the control system of a manufacturing system in order to

Electron Microscopes (EMs) are widespread in a wide range of applications due to their unique and powerful visualization capabilities. Several key technologies have recently emerged that allow for (1) local additive/substrative fabrication by ion beams at the sub-micrometer scale (2) 3D and dynamic

At the moment of the Green Deal and climate change, the industrial use of innovative and high-performance bio-based materials, pushed by societal pressure, must accelerate. The 3D printing of structural composite parts, biobased and/or degradable, and reinforced with high-performance plant fibres is

Additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) processes has achieved a certain level of industrial maturity. It makes it possible to manufacture parts with complex geometry, personalized in small series, within a reasonable time frame and at a reasonable cost without using specific tooling. However, the a

The project Me3dAx aims to study the production process of 3D simulations of professional gestures. In particular, it aspires to understand the different stages that make it possible to capture and model the human body’s intervention in a cycle of production of value. In this perspective, the projec

In the context of Industry 4.0, flexible manufacturing plays a significant role in developing the factory of the future. CHAIKMAT project aims to propose a novel AI-based approach that will enhance flexibility in manufacturing, increase the transparency of decision-making systems, and improve trust

Current challenges in metal additive manufacturing processes can be mainly traced back to complex multi-physics coupling induced by the thermal loading history of the produced part. Caused defects, based on these phenomena, are mostly insufficient geometrical accuracy and low or unpredictable streng

The usage of timber in building construction will increase in the future so Europe can meet the objectives of CO2 emissions. Structural design of buildings requires the knowledge of the material that constitutes the structure. On the opposite of concrete and steel, timber mechanical properties are h

4.0 modern factories strive to reorganize operation in the workplace to put Humans back at the center of the activity while preserving their health and providing better work conditions. Collaborative robotics could address these challenges by merging intelligence and skills of Humans and robots to p
