The standardization of 5G by 3GPP is now well underway, with the release of releases 15 (2018) and 16 (2020). Release 17 is almost complete but has been delayed due to the pandemic and release 18 is in its very first phase. In this context, French R&D must remain involved and even become a major player for the continuation of 5G and the networks of the future (beyond 5G, 6G). The alliance of the Institut Mines-Télécom, CEA and CNRS within a research program will allow the acceleration of this strategy and will guarantee the national sovereignty in the digital domain.

Adaptative Optics (AO) requires fast and precise wavefront control using deformable optical surface (DM) with a large number of actuators. Current commercial DM technologies are efficient but still suffer from limitations in their temporal bandwidth, dynamical range, size, number of actuators, fragility/fatigue, and non-linear effects that need to be overcome for future instruments. Moreover, these DMs have unperfect shape at rest and are costly. We aim to develop a new hybrid high-speed, lightweight, large and low-cost deformable-mirror technology.

In this project, we challenge ourselves to increase the accuracy of trajectory tracking for cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) in additive manufacturing (AM) and to ensure the geometric quality of the produced parts. Indeed, our objective is to develop CDPRs with static and dynamic performance levels that meet the requirements of high-quality and high-productivity AM with a resolution of 0.1 mm.

The GreeenLocal3D project focuses on models and experiments to facilitate the short circuit recycling of post-consumer plastic waste to be recovered and enhanced by additive manufacturing (AM) processes. In a new "distributed recycling" paradigm, this process must be accomplished by affordable and flexible technologies that cover a limited geographical area to form the basic unit of a "smart recycling network". More specifically, the objective is to study the possibility through AM to revalorize previously unsorted and/or unrecycled types of plastics.

ELEGaNT’s technical objectives are :  

Several issues have been identified concerning the recycling of plastics during the analysis of the state of the art. Firstly, the presence of contaminants and the disassembly of complex structures appear as major issue and limit the development of mechanical recycling of plastics. On the other hand, tertiary recycling or chemical recycling is in its infancy and fundamental knowledge in this field is still needed to allow its spreading at different scales.

The HYperStock project aims at consolidating the French scientific leadership in the field of storage and distribution of hydrogen under high pressure. This is an essential element of the hydrogen value chain on which the research and innovation effort must focus, specifically with an aim at decarbonizing heavy transportation mobility, in order to build up the green and autonomous hydrogen economy of tomorrow.

The objective of the RHU ICELAND is to develop a new solution for annuloplasty of the mitral valve by transfemoral approach integrating an Intra Cardiac Ultrasound. Such a solution can be performed while the heart is beating, without cardiopulmonary bypass, thus providing a first-stage mitral valve repair solution for patients considered high risk who are not eligible for open surgery, and further for most patients requiring mitral valve repair. .

Accéder à des sources documentaires hétérogènes anciennes constituées de textes manuscrits ou imprimés, d'images, de gravures, ou encore de photographies difficiles à indexer, constitue l'enjeu central des nouveaux systèmes dédiées à l’extraction d’information sémantique des corpus de documents.
