Call for projects
The Institut Carnot ARTS (iC ARTS) brings together 23 research and innovation laboratories and provides support to industry through a wide range of scientific skills and technological research. The iC ARTS scientific resourcing policy has enabled it to set up multi-year, multi-disciplinary projects that enable several iC ARTS laboratories to pool their skills to develop breakthrough innovations that will be transferred to the socio-economic world in the medium term.
RehabbyExo
After a stroke, 50% of people with after-effects find it very difficult or impossible to walk 500 metres. Rehabilitation is therefore a major challenge if they are to regain their mobility.
With this in mind, the laboratories of the Carnot ARTS Institute, in partnership with Bordeaux University Hospital, are working on a project, RehabByExo, to develop an exoskeleton for use in clinical research for the rehabilitation of severe hemiplegic patients, with a view to helping them recover their functional ability to walk.
How will this exoskeleton work? A system of sensors will be placed on the non-paralysed limb and on the paralysed limb to analyse the motor deficit in real time. Robotic rehabilitation will thus be able to assist the walking movement rather than impose it. The patient will receive sensory information created by the movement induced by the exoskeleton, but will also be able to voluntarily initiate and participate in the assisted walking task, depending on his or her residual motor skills.
The LAMPA, IBHGC, LISPEN and LAMIH laboratories are leading the project.
Smart Lifting Surfaces
The aim of the « Smart Lifting Surfaces » project is to improve cavitation and vibration control of lifting surfaces under hydrodynamic flow. The term ‘bearing surfaces’ is used to refer to thin structures such as the blades of jet engines or pumps.
structures such as jet engine or pump blades, propellers, wind or tidal turbine blades or hydro
foils. These surfaces can be subjected to vibratory or cavitation phenomena, leading to a reduction in service life through fatigue or erosion. Vibration and cavitation are also responsible for a reduction in the performance of aero- or hydrodynamic profiles, as well as a reduction in acoustic discretion.
Rather than modifying the geometry of the structures in question, the solutions envisaged are based on the use of so-called ‘active’ materials (shape memory alloys, piezoelectric materials, electroactive polymers, etc). By means of static or dynamic control, it then becomes possible to modify the behaviour of the structure in its environment. The final objective of this four-year project is to develop an industrial-scale demonstrator to validate the proposed solutions.
All machines with propellers (boats, submarines, aircraft, helicopters, wind turbines, etc.) will be able to benefit from the advances made by the « Smart Lifting Surfaces » project.
The IRENav, L2EP, LISPEN, PIMM, LMSSC, LEME & UMI 2958 GT-CNRS laboratories are leading the project.
Co-simulation for the industry of the future
The « co-simulation for the industry of the future » project was born out of an observation: the massive production of digital data to represent, design and anticipate, as well as the real-time interactive dissemination of this data in working environments, make it possible to optimise interactions between people and systems.
The aim of the « co-simulation for the industry of the future » project is to provide collaborative engineering and simulation methods and tools for the industry of the future.
The interconnected system will enable global simulation of scenarios (such as accidents) in the same shared virtual environment.
The project will focus on methods and tools in three complementary areas of particular interest to the ARTS Carnot Institute: collaborative design (for industrial design offices, R&D and innovation departments), the factory’s hybrid twin (for the virtual/real interaction of the system and its production system in the factory with its behaviour models), and mobility co-simulation (for the study of interactions between vehicles/mobile machinery).
The I2M, IRENav, LAMPA, LCPI, LISPEN, PIMM and LAMIH laboratories are leading the project.
