Discover... ISAE-SUPAERO’s land mobile robots!

ISAE-SUPAERO - as a center for training through #research, research training and innovation - has many research equipments used within its 6 research departments.
Today, we present the land mobile robots!
Whether robots, planes, cars, or even telephones, all of these technologies are equipped with perception systems. Depending on the application, these sources of information make it possible to perceive the environment in which a system evolves but also to measure its own characteristics, such as for example its velocity or its acceleration. This multitude of data must then be used, cross-referenced and interpreted within what is called the navigation system to obtain the positioning of the vehicle but also, in the case of mapping applications, that of the objects which surround it.
Within the NAVIRRES (Navigation, Radar, and Remote Sensing) team of the DEOS, researchers are interested in navigation systems and their application in complex environments where sensor information can be degraded, erroneous or even unavailable. Thus, mobile acquisition platforms are developed, equipped with cameras, lidars, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receivers, radars and inertial measurement units, with the aim of obtaining the most efficient navigation system possible, according to the intended application. One of the research topics of the team concerns the analysis of the degradation of information from sensors, which leads to the development of new robust and adaptive algorithms, making it possible to overcome environmental constraints. The ultimate goal is to make navigation systems more precise and safer, for critical applications requiring strong reliability, such as autonomous cars or exploration robotics.

AeroMAPS: an ISAE-SUPAERO reference tool for exploring the possible futures of aviation! ISAE-SUPAERO / SapienSapienS

The AeroMAPS tool, developed by two ISAE-SUPAERO researchers, Scott Delbecq and Thomas Planès, can be used to assess the environmental impact of air transport and the effectiveness or limitations of levers for decarbonizing the sector.
Initially designed for research and training purposes, it now serves as a multidisciplinary platform for experts and decision-makers from institutions, industry, and associations. Its development has been integrated into the work of the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (ISA), a collaborative research institute initiated by Laurent joly, head of research for sustainable aviation, which aims to address the transition to #lowcarbon #aviation in all its complexity.
By playing on the sector’s transition levers, AeroMAPS users can define the scenarios whose impacts they wish to analyze. For example, the introduction of new aircraft types, the use of new fuels or the rate of growth in air traffic.
AeroMAPS is the first air transport scenario simulation platform built on an open-source scientific methodology. It was initially designed and developed to enable researchers to explore air transport transition scenarios in detail. It was soon integrated into training programs: first as part of the ISAE-SUPAERO engineering curriculum, then as part of continuing education programs.
To see the bigger picture, the two researchers added a socio-economic dimension to their tool (via a thesis conducted by Antoine Salgas, a doctoral student on the project, in partnership with Toulouse Business School), and subsequently, a traffic and emissions inventory, enabling the analyses made with AeroMAPS to be partitioned and regionalized: the AeroSCOPE tool, created as part of a collaboration with the Dutch university TU Delft.
Today, AeroMAPS’ comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach is a decision-making aid for the entire aeronautics ecosystem, as well as for institutional, industrial and association decision-makers. Through its scientific expertise, ISAE-SUPAERO contributes to the public debate on the place of aviation in our society!
