IV 2019

The 30^th edition of the Intelligent Vehicle Symposium (IV2019) was held in France from 9 to 12 June. The opportunity for IMobS³ LabEx, to demonstrate the latest developments in autonomous vehicles.

Research and Territories seminar

As part of the ongoing discussions on the future law on research programming, a Research and Territories seminar was held on Tuesday June 4^th at the University of Lyon, in order to produce a contribution from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region on the place of the territories in the research policy.

Michel Dhome, Director of LabEx IMobS³, was speaking at a round table whose aim was to present the territorial anchors of the Future Investment Programs.

SIDO2019

The Showroom of the Internet of Things connected (SIDO) took place on 10 and 11 April 2019 in Lyon. This is the national meeting where manufacturers, technology providers, digital players, research laboratories, startups, investors, designers, entrepreneurs, local authorities and the media meet to explore and make the Internet of Things, the new economy .

The opportunity for participants to discover the most recent and most important advances in the field of connected objects and of course to present their research, as did some IMobS³ actors.

Clermont Innovation Week 2019

As part of the Clermont Innovation Week 2019 at the initiative of ViaMéca, the Institut Pascal and Irstea, gathered in the framework of the IMobS³ LabEx and the Challenge 2 of CAP 20-25, proposed a demonstration of mobile robotics for high school students on the PAVIN VU platform.

LabEx IMobS3 extension for 5 years

Frédérique Vidal, Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation and Guillaume Boudy, Secretary General for Investment, announced on February 8, 2019 the list of the 103 laboratories of excellence (LabEx) that the Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has decided to extend for 5 years following the positive evaluation carried out by an international jury.

Among them is the LabEx IMobS³!!!

The IMobS3 Labex

The IMobS³ "Laboratoire d'Excellence" (for "Innovative Mobility : Smart and Sustainable Solutions") aims to develop efficient and environmentally aware technological bricks for an innovative mobility of people, goods and machines by playing on the triptych "Research - Education - Promotion".

The IMobS³ LabEx is supported by 5 establishments present in Clermont site (Clermont Auvergne University - project leader, SIGMA Clermont engineering school, CNRS, Irstea and Cerema. It is based on the multidisciplinary and complementary skills of eight laboratories (ACTé, DLCF-Cerema, LAPSCO, LIMOS, LMBP, ICCF, Pascal Institute, TSCF-Irstea) placed under the supervision of these institutions often in the form of mixed research units.

In February 2017, the Clermont University community obtained the label I-Site "Initiatives - Science - Innovation - Territories - Economy" with the project CAP 20-25. This label aims to structure the University thanks to the successes acquired during the Future Investment Programmes first call. LabEx IMobS³ is proving to be the Challenge 2 "Innovative systems and services for the production and the transports" cornerstone.

"Shape Sensing of Deformable Objects for Robot Manipulation"

Place: Amphi Recherche - EUPI, Campus des Cézeaux, 63170 AUBIERE

RESUME

Deformable objects are ubiquitous in our daily lives. On a given day, we manipulate clothes into uncountable congurations to dress ourselves, tie the shoelaces on our shoes, pick up fruits and vegetables without damaging them for our consumption and fold receipts into our wallets. All these tasks involve manipulating deformable objects and can be performed by an able person without any trouble, however robots have yet to reach the same level of dexterity. Unlike rigid objects, where robots are now capable of handling objects with close to human performance in some tasks; deformable objects must be controlled not only to account for their pose but also their shape. This extra constraint, to control an object's shape, renders techniques used for rigid objects mainly innapplicable to deformable objects. Furthermore, the behavior of deformable objects widely diers among them, e.g. the shape of a cable and clothes are signicantly aected by gravity while it might not aect the conguration of other deformable objects such as food products. Thus, dierent approaches have been designed for specic classes of deformable objects.

In this thesis we seek to address these shortcomings by proposing a modular approach to sense the shape of an object while it is manipulated by a robot. The modularity of the approach is inspired by a programming paradigm that has been increasingly been applied to software development in robotics and aims to achieve more general solutions by separating functionalities into components. These components can then be interchanged based on the specic task or object at hand. Our approach, thus, takes the form of a pipeline to sense the shape of deformable objects.

To validate the proposed pipeline, we implemented three dierent applications. Two applications focused exclusively on estimating the object's deformation using either tactile or force data, and the third application consisted in controlling the deformation of an object. An evaluation of the pipeline, performed on a set of elastic objects for all three applications, shows promising results for an approach that makes no use of visual information and hence, it could greatly be improved by the addition of this modality.
