Automated Production Research Laboratory

Research unit

Description

The research carried out at LURPA is focused on the safe command of systems involving discrete events, product creation and fabrication processes. The main subjects investigated include the modelling and command of poly-articulated systems, shape geometry acquisition processes, and algebric approach used in formal analysis. LURPA takes part in many partnerships with both industry-leading corporations (Airbus, EDF...) and smaller companies (Missler software, Spring Technology, Lithias) in domains ranging from transportation to software, health, and energy production.
