A research laboratory dedicated

to the systems of tomorrow

Research in engineering and information sciences in a philosophy of openness.


LAAS’ research activities fall within the domain of Information Sciences and Technologies and address complex systems (artificial and sometimes natural) generally heterogeneous, and at different scales, to devise theories, methodologies and tools for modeling, designing and controlling them.

Research, innovation and transfer are tied. The lab has a history of strong relationships with industry and works in a large number of collaborative projects with international, national and regional industries of all size. LAAS was one of the 20 first “Carnot Institutes” labeled in 2006.

The systems considered in our research are of different kinds: integrated systems, embedded systems with real time and safety requirements, distributed systems, mobile systems, autonomous and robotics systems, micro and nano systems, biological systems. They fall in various application domains such as aeronautics and space, telecommunications, transports, production, services, security and defense, energy management, healthcare, environment and sustainable development.

RESEARCH
IN LAAS-CNRS

Strategy & key numbers

The research carried out at LAAS-CNRS aims at a fundamental understanding of complex systems while considering the use that may result from them. Conversely, many industrial or societal issues, for example in the field of transport, space, health or communication networks, raise fundamental questions that motivate the laboratory's research projects.

PIONEERS
IN ENGINEERING AND SYSTEMS SCIENCES SINCE 1968

The history of LAAS-CNRS

Since 1968, the LAAS-CNRS has been "a laboratory of scientific innovation", according to its founder Jean Lagasse whose adage "Always higher, always further in creativity and the happiness of being together" is always intended to news.
