  • Control of complex robots
  • Development of innovative processes and manufacturing methods
  • Methods for decision taking and design

Projects

Since 2012, the LCFC is part of the project BioCapTech and contribute to the design of new water treatment systems. The joint venture with the Agence nationale de la recherche aims to design a new humanoid robot, nicknamed Hydroid. The laboratory is also implied in the projet Corousso, focused on the friction stir welding process.
