Laboratoire d'analyse et d'architecture des systèmes (LAAS-CNRS)

TOULOUSE CEDEX 4

In order to anticipate the major interdisciplinary challenges posed by emerging and future systems and services, LAAS-CNRS has identified four strategic axes based on the four disciplinary fields (computer science, robotics, automation and micro and nano systems) that have been the hallmark of the laboratory since its creation: Ambient Intelligence, Living, Energy, Space.

Le réseau RENATECH est un réseau national du CNRS distribué en cinq grandes centrales de technologies localisées à Palaiseau, Lille, Besançon, Toulouse et Grenoble. L'équipe, constituée de représentants de chacune de ces centrales et de développeurs informatiques de l'Institut d'électronique, de microélectronique et de nanotechnologie, a lancé une nouvelle application : REPOTECH. Elle permet de gérer les demandes de faisabilité ou de projets afin d'accéder aux équipements technologiques du…

Whether we think they intend to annihilate us, replace us in factories or become our slaves (or even our friends!), robots have fuelled our fantasies for centuries... Especially when they look like us. Except that actually we don't come across many of them other than in fiction.

Portrait de Carole Rossi, médaille d'argent du CNRS 2022, directrice de recherche CNRS au Laboratoire d'analyse et d'architecture des systèmes (LAAS-CNRS), spécialisée dans l'élaboration et l'étude de nanomatériaux énergétiques. Ingénieure en science des matériaux, Carole Rossi débute en 1994 un doctorat au Laboratoire d'analyse et d'architecture des systèmes en micro-nanotechnologie. Elle propose alors d'intégrer des matériaux énergétiques dans des microsystèmes, les pyroMEMS,…

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the invention of the laser, this film retraces various aspects of this scientific discovery that brought about a revolution in our daily lives. Laser (acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) has established itself in many fields such as telecommunications, surgery, materials cutting technologies, distance measurements, bar code reading, etc. All of this had not anticipated at the time of its development. The history of…
