Industry is a term covering most human activities.
Manufacturing activities (use raw materials to turn them into objects) is too often considered, wrongly, as the only industrial activity (Aeronautics, Space, Defence, Microelectronics, Automotive, …)
Agriculture, Wood exploitation and Food are wide industrial sectors
Transport & Mobility offered new challenges (autonomous vehicles, logistics, …)
Health involves a lot of new technologies (sensors, actuators, biophysics devices,…) that are very similar to those developed within other domains (additive manufacturing, lasers, …)
Civil engineering and patrimony are far behind other sectors industrial sectors (robotics, cobotics, remote sensing,…) despite the demand
Energy sector is a on-going evolving field to adapt to ever increasing demands and big consumer of new materials and processes to reach the aimed flexibility and sustainability.
Additive Manufacturing
Non destructive evaluation (defects investigation, physical properties measurement) during a metal additive manufacturing process with feedback on:
The material and process design
The material constitution
The manufacturing process parameters
Requires skills in:
Material engineering
Design
Manufacturing processes
Non Destructive Evaluation
Multiphysics and multiscale Modelling (micro and meso scales)
Make the cobotic process efficient by acting on ther robot, considering human behaviour with feedback on:
Robot design
Human decision
Robot working parameters…
Requires skills in:
robotics
Cognitics
Human-robot interactions
Multiphysics Modelling (biomechanics)
Multiphysics sensors/actuators (biophysics)
Remote control
End-user : manufacturing, health, mobility,…
Civil and Patrimony Structure
Understand and preserve a natural site: Lascaux and its surrounding environment
Require skills in:
Geophysics, non destructive methods (1D, 2D, 3D)
In situ measurements
Multiphysics sensors
Thermal properties, electromagnetic properties
Thermal modelling in limestone
Thermal and aeraulic simulation inside the cave
Multiscale and multiphysics coupled phenomena
End users:Curators for preventive conservation, environmental protection, patrimonial preservation, geothermal applications, survey of the environment of industrial sites
