Presentation

To anticipate the interdisciplinary challenges of emerging and future systems, LAAS identified two strategic axes: Adream and Alive. They are based on the four major disciplines that have been the hallmark of the laboratory since its inception: computer science, robotics, automatic control and micro and nanosystems.

Within these disciplines, research at LAAS revolves around 8 topics in 22 research teams, the basic units of research at the laboratory:

• Crucial Computing
• Networks and Communications
• Robotics
• Decision and Optimization
• Microwaves and Optics: from Electromagnetism to Systems
• Nano Engineering and Integration
• Micro Nano Bio Technologies
• Energy Management

The 22 research teams of the laboratory are :

• Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance TSF
• Verification of Time Critical Systems VERTICS
• System Engineering and Integration ISI
• Services and Architectures for Advanced Networks SARA
• Distributed Computing and Asynchronism CDA
• Movement of Anthropomorphic Systems GEPETTO
• Robotics, Action and Perception RAP
• Robotics and InteractionS RIS
• Diagnosis and Supervisory Control DISCO
• Methods and Algorithms in Control MAC
• Operations Research, Combinatorial Optimization and Constraints ROC
• Micro and Nanosystems for Wireless Communications MINC
• Microwaves and Opto-microwaves for Telecommunication Systems MOST
• Optoelectronics for Embedded Systems OSE
• Photonics PHOTO
• Nano Engineering and System Integration N2IS
• Nanobiosystems NBS
• Microsystems for Analysis MICA
• Materials and Processes for Nanoelectronics MPN
• High Frequency and Fluidic Micro and nanosystems MH2F
• Energy and Embedded Systems  ESE
• Energy Management System Integration ISGE

LAAS works on various types of systems: micro and nano systems, embedded systems, embedded systems, distributed large-scale systems, biological systems, mobile systems, autonomous systems and critical infrastructures, with application areas such as aeronautics, space, transport, energy, services, health, environment, telecommunications, manufacturing and defence.

LAAS is also institut Carnot, label that greatly emphasizes the multidisciplinary skills of public research in favor of socio-economic world.
