Master Transport, Mobilités, Réseaux - Control Engineering for Assistive Technologies (CEAT) at INSA Hauts-de-France

This research master is taught in English and prepares students for doctoral studies or an R&D role on assistive technologies for mobility, autonomy or rehabilitation. It provides skills in automatic control, assistive robotics and human-centred design of assistance (biomechanics, medical devices, legislation and certification) and prepares for research. It is delivered by INSA Hauts-de-France and INSA Rennes, backed by the LAMIH (UMR CNRS) automatic control department in Valenciennes and IRISA in Rennes.

Faculty: INSA Hauts-de-France - Master (co-awarded with Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France)  |  Department: Transport, Mobilités, Réseaux (TMR)  |  Duration: Master 1 and Master 2 (entry into either year)  |  Study mode: full-time (Valenciennes and INSA Rennes); English  |  Location: Valenciennes, Hauts-de-France, France

What you will study

Five major competences: working in a research context and using its tools and methods; developing control applications (Matlab/Simulink, ROS); developing controllers and estimators for dynamic systems (state space, robust control, LPV methods, implementation on assisted wheelchairs, prostheses and exoskeletons); integrating assistance into human contexts, legal frameworks and human-centred design; and designing innovative robotic technologies for health and autonomy. Semester 10 is a full research project in a laboratory or company.

Career pathways

Graduates are intended to join a doctoral school for a thesis in automatic control, robotics or computing for human assistance, or to work in industry R&D departments designing technical aids for people with reduced mobility or for rehabilitation.
