Presentation

To anticipate the interdisciplinary challenges of emerging and future systems and services, LAAS-CNRS identified three strategic axes : Adream, Alive and Synergy. 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 nano systems.

Within these disciplines, research at LAAS revolves around 8 scientific departments running 26 research teams, basic units of research at the laboratory.

 

4 Disciplines

                                     

8 Scientific Topics
