National Initiatives

ANR Tosa CityVIP

Participants : Andrea Cherubini, Fabien Spindler, Eric Marchand, François Chaumette.

no. Inria 3208, duration: 42 months.

This project, managed by Lasmea, started in June 2008. It involves eight partners, including Lagadic. The project consists of enhancing the autonomy of urban vehicles by integrating sensor-based techniques with a geographical database. The work that we have realized within this project is described in Section  6.2.3 .

ANR Contint Prosit

Participants : Tao Li, Alexandre Krupa, François Chaumette.

no. Inria 3585, duration: 46 months.

This project is led by the Prisme lab in Bourges. It started in December 2008 in collaboration with LIRMM in Montpellier, LMS in Poitiers, CHU of Tours, and the Robosoft company. Its goal is to develop an interactive master-slave robotic platform for medical diagnosis applications (tele-echography) with assistance functionalities. The work that we have realized within this project is described in Section  6.3.2 .

ANR Contint US-Comp

Participants : Caroline Nadeau, Deukhee Lee, Alexandre Krupa, François Chaumette.

no. Inria 3560, duration: 42 months.

This project, led by Alexandre Krupa, started in December 2008. It involves a collaboration with the Visages team in Rennes, LSIIT in Strasbourg and LIRMM in Montpellier. Its goal is to provide methodological solutions for real-time compensation of soft tissues motion during ultrasound imaging. The approach consists in synchronizing the displacement of a 2D or 3D ultrasound probe to stabilize the observed image by the use of a robotic arm. The work that we have realized within this project is described in Sections  6.3.1 and  6.3.3 .

ANR P2N Nanorobust

Participant : Eric Marchand.

duration: 48 months.

This project started in November 2011. It is composed of a consortium managed by Femto-ST with LPN, Isir, Thalès and Lagadic group through the Université de Rennes 1. Nanorobust deals with the development of micro- and nano-manipulation within SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). Our goal is to provide visual servoing techniques for positioning and manipulation tasks with a nanometer precision.

PEA Decsa

Participants : Eric Marchand, François Chaumette.

duration: 36 months.

This project started in November 2011. It is composed of a consortium managed by Astrium with the Novadem, Sirehna, Spot Image and Magellium companies, and with the Inria Lagadic and Steep groups. It is devoted to the development of navigation and perception algorithms for small drones in urban environment.
