Innovative and sustainable systems integration solutions for a world that must be future-ready.
The IRSEEM, our Research Institute for Embedded Electronic Systems (Institut de Recherche en Systèmes Electroniques Embarqués) is a R&D laboratory where faculty and students conduct systems-oriented research in order to lead innovative advancements in their fields.
IRSEEM | The Organization
The IRSEEM (Institut de Recherche en Systèmes Electroniques Embarqués – Research Institute for Embedded Electronic Systems) was founded in 2001 by ESIGELEC.
The research at IRSEEM is focussed around the central research theme of ‘Cyber-physical systems in severe environments’. Its activity is structured around 3 main clusters: Automation & Systems, Electronics & Systems, and Instrumentation, Computing & Systems. IRSEEM’s activity clusters combine their skills in electronics, automation and computing within partnership research programs in order to provide innovative and sustainable systems integration solutions.
IRSEEM is an Equipe d’Accueil-certified reception team (EA 4353) providing joint supervision with the University of Rouen Normandy.will be the same.
IRSEEM | The Mission
The laboratory’s mission is to conduct systems-oriented research while covering the complexity and
transdisciplinarity of research and development subjects.
The Activity Clusters
Automation & Systems Cluster
Robust system control, robust diagnostics/prognostics, estimation
Electronics & Systems Cluster
Electromagnetic compatibility, reliability, microwave frequency components and circuits, microelectronics, power electronics
Instrumentation, Computing & Systems Cluster
Vision and localisation, embedded software, autonomous mobility, multi-agent cooperative systems
In addition to these three clusters, the laboratory has a Research and Development Innovation Service (SIRD).
SIRD supports economic actors in the innovation and R&D process. We are here to help companies and researchers put in place a complete chain for evaluating needs and knowledge. SIRD’s function revolves around autonomous navigation, EMC and chassis dynamometer provision.
