Information files (in French)
Cell phones, cars, ships, planes, rockets, robots…there are embedded systems hidden in the most common and complex products. They have to contend with key considerations (bearing on autonomy, weight, robustness and security for example) and are becoming ever more complex.
The first two years are spent learning a knowledge set in Information and Communication Science and Technology (mathematics, automation, signal, computer science, analog and digital electronics).
In the final year, teaching will be geared towards helping students to grasp the programming methods for real-time embedded systems and high-performance computing, design of artificial intelligence and the mechanisms of software-defined radio and networks of sensors.
Graduates will be able to find work in a range of sectors where these embedded systems are driving innovation: the defense industry, medicine, shipbuilding, aeronautics, automobile industry and energy.
Spotlight on the Deepdart project
The Deepdart project was created by Théo Lagrue and Tony Calvez, two co-operative (apprentice) engineers specializing in "embedded systems".
For several weeks, they worked on artificial intelligence for robot recognition.
Their project included different phases:
- Learning: 12,000 images were acquired for the database, the numerous calculations being accomplished by a super-computer.
- Execution: the execution algorithm enables the images to be analyzed (each image being divided into different segments which are analyzed and compared to the data acquired in the previous phase).
- Detection: when several parts of the image are recognized, an algorithm standardizes the different zones to detect the complete object.
This project was a real experiment in the field of intelligence and embedded systems. It was a challenge to accomplish so many calculations on Nintendo Switch architecture and the result was way above our expectations.
