Swaminath Venkateswaran, a teacher-researcher in mechatronics at ESILV, presented his research paper entitled “Design and Analysis of a Series-Parallel Hybrid 3-SPS-U Mechanism” at the ASME-IDETC 2023 international conference, held in Boston, USA. This research study was part of the Mechanisms and Robotics session of the annual ASME-IDETC conference. It provides a valuable platform for students, […]
Last May, eleven ESILV robotics students from the DaVinciBot Association took part in the French Robotics Cup. This competition, organised by Planète Sciences, aims to promote science to young people. The theme of the 2023 edition was “The cherry on the cake”. The French Robotics Cup brought together nearly a hundred teams from all over […]
As part of the Connected Factory course taught by Lionel Fomperie, VP of Industrial Strategy at Nexans, and Chao Li, Digital Development Engineer at Nexans, A5 students from the Industry 4.0 major visited connected factories. Nexans, a French multinational in the cable transmission line industry, has been engaged for two years in an extensive industrial […]
The use of traditional robots is already established to improve productivity and production quality. They also reduce costs and tedious tasks. But their programming could be more complex for small and medium-sized enterprises. Collaborative robots, or “cobots,” make automation more accessible to emerging companies. What is a cobot? Cobots are machines powered by artificial intelligence […]
Resilient Futures Group Principal Investigator Marc Teyssier spoke with Marwa EIDiwiny on a recent episode of the IEEE RAS Soft Robotics podcast. They discussed soft materials and human-computer interaction and Devinci Innovation Center’s contribution to the robotics community. Marc Teyssier is a designer, researcher and principal investigator of the Resilient Futures Group at Devinci Innovation […]
Brain-controlled devices are a part of everyday life, and drones controlled just by thinking can transform great pans of industries such as military service or industry disaster. To help students grasp how human-technology interaction can create smarter environments and enable easier communications with the machines around them, the De Vinci Innovation Center develops new AI-enabled […]
Human-machine interaction technologies have become increasingly popular, and cobotics is one of the fastest-growing elements of the intelligent factory. This year, the 2024 class’ second-year project focused on cobots: finding solutions to enhance human-robot collaboration. In the second year of the ESILV integrated preparatory course for the engineering curriculum, the PIX project aims to design […]
Soumaya Sabry, a fifth-year student of ESILV and Ecole Polytechnique double-degree program, had her article on “People identity learning in HRI through an incremental multimodal approach” published as a part of IEEE International Conference on Robot & Human Interactive Communication. Soumaya’s contribution was featured at the Cognitive Robotics for Interaction (CIRCE) Workshop, hosted at the […]
Robotics really is the field of the future! Scientists have recently come up with tiny little robots that can move on four feet. Almost invisible, those robots can be used to explore biological environments. More than a million of those robots have already been produced. How Do Those Robots Work? “Those robots are so small […]
The recent COVID-19 pandemic highlights the future importance of Robotics: robots indeed are able to limit the worker’s exposition to the virus while maintaining social distancing and disinfecting public spaces. Overall, the Engineering Industry, including robotics, did not suffer from the COVID-19 crisis: the industry was already used to remote work, and digital software are well implemented. […]
As the sanitary crisis impacted their internships, ESILV students were allowed to devote themselves entirely to their business project instead of the internships planned in the 4th and 5th years. A look at three examples of student startup launches. The 4th and 5th years internships cover a pivotal period in the engineering curriculum, as they […]
Robots were once perceived as a threat to people’s jobs, or even just a tool used in the heavy industry sector, but in this digital era, SMEs are starting to make use of them as well. While some people argue that robots are replacing humans, SMEs are benefiting from the support of this technology to […]
