Laboratoire d’Automatique, de Mécanique et d’Informatique Industrielles et Humaines (LAMIH)

Research unit

Description

The LAMIH UMR CNRS 8201 (Laboratoire d'Automatique, de Mécanique et d'Informatique industrielles et Humaines) is a joint research unit between the Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France and the CNRS.

LAMIH is a multidisciplinary and recognized research player in the fields of transport and mobility: non-polluting vehicles, intelligent transport, driver assistance, eco-driving, lightening structures, transport logistics, mobility for all and intelligent mobility. He has a strong competence in everything that touches man in interaction with technical systems.

LAMIH has a large network of industrial partners, operators, contractors and suppliers in the fields of ground and air transport as well as logistics and health.
As a multidisciplinary laboratory, the LAMIH is capable of both a global understanding of an industrial problem and also of studying a particular technical or scientific problem related to computing, Automatic, mechanical and human and life sciences.

LAMIH intervenes on all levels of TRL, with a core activity related to applied engineering research that leads to the development of industrial prototypes. LAMIH has several patents under joint ownership with industrialists.

Expertises

Skills

The LAMIH UMR 8201 is organized in 4 departments:

• Automatic: Research activities focus on the design, control and monitoring of systems (autonomous, man-machine, industrial or service socio-techniques).

• Mechanics: Research focuses on understanding and mastering interactions at interfaces and microstructural evolutions in order to improve the integrity and functionality of mechanical, thermal and energy systems. The originality of the department lies in the complexity of the physical phenomena studied by considering the “severe conditions” (rapid dynamics, turbulence, heat transfers, etc.) and the phenomena at the interfaces.

• Informatics: The originality of the IT department is to have the necessary skills in a global approach: at the computational level (optimization and simulation), at the software architectures (distributed vs. centralized) and hardware (embedded systems) or in relation to the human (human-machine interaction, knowledge modelling, decision support).

• Human and Life Sciences (SHV): This SHV Department brings together researchers from different disciplines dealing with the human aspects of movement. It includes researchers who examine disorders and disturbances of motor function for the purpose of optimizing motor function and researchers who focus on the study of cognitive, emotional and motor components of decision-making.

LAMIH covers the entire Transport and Security, Mobility and Disability chain, from theoretical and methodological research (TRL bas) to innovation including the creation of start-upsup and via research based on major industrial groups but also on SMEs (medium/high TRL). It also relies on a set of experimental platforms that are sometimes unique in France and are an indispensable asset for conducting quality scientific activities.

LAMIH is a member of the Research Federation of the CNRS Transports Terrestres & Mobilité 3733, of the Carnot ARTS Institute and is a privileged partner in the development of the IRT Railenium.
