Title:

On the Investigation of Lumped Parameter Models for Thermal Characterization of High Power Modules

Authors:

Marco Iachello

Abstract: This research focuses on the development of a new thermal modelling methodology of multichip electronic power modules. The current stage of the research is intermediate. In the first step the implementation of simulations for collecting thermal data on high power modules has been performed. The current step is the development of the methodology for lumped parameter models extraction. The main aim of this project is to generate an optimized procedure for the design of lumped parameter thermal models extracted from 3D-field simulations or experimental measurements.

Title:

Adaptive Deployment of a Mobile Sensors Network to Optimize the Monitoring of a Phenomenon Governed by Partial Differential Equations

Authors:

Alban Vergnaud, Philippe Lucidarme, Laurent Autrique and Laetitia Perez

Abstract: This project is intended to develop a comprehensive methodology (theory and numerical methods) in order to achieve an optimal design of experiments in the context of nonlinear ill posed problems related to the evaluation of parameters in systems described by partial differential equations (PDE). An experimental prototype will be developed in order to validate the performance of different strategies to identify location of one (or more) heating source using a set of mobile sensors.

Title:

Developing a Multi-Agent Fuzzy-based Control Architecture for Autonomous Mobile Manipulators

Abstract: Controlling a robotic system, while reaching a certain degree of autonomy and complexity, is carried by the establishment of its control architecture. The control process is intended through achieving general goals and/or reacting to changes of the environment. An autonomous robot is required to meet some design specifications and behavior requirements: its reactivity to environment change, its reliability and its fault-tolerance, etc. However, A control architecture of a robot must ensure that the robot will achieve, in real-time, its tasks despite all the constraints. The control is required to be reactively fast but also thorough, while maintaining some properties such as stability and robustness. The main objective we are intending to achieve is to design our own approach for autonomous control of mobile manipulators. The expected approach is meant to be thorough and generic as possible. It should offer a real-time reactive response, while maintaining a fault-tolerance capabilities and a robust control.
