Master Transport, mobilités, réseaux (TMR) - Parcours Control Engineering for Assistive Technologies (CEAT) at Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France

Programme overview

The Control Engineering for Assistive Technologies (CEAT) research master is taught in English and delivered by INSA HdF and INSA Rennes, backed by the LAMIH (Valenciennes) and IRISA (Rennes) research laboratories. It prepares students for doctoral studies or R&D roles in mobility assistance, autonomy and rehabilitation technologies, with research projects from Master 1 and a final semester devoted to a research project in a laboratory or company.

Faculty: INSA Hauts-de-France (Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France) | Location: Valenciennes, Hauts-de-France, France

What you will study

Five competencies: working in a research context (methods, rights and duties, publication), developing control applications (Matlab/Simulink, ROS), designing controllers and estimators for dynamic systems (state-space, robust and LPV control, tested on assisted wheelchairs, prostheses, exoskeletons), integrating legal and human-centred design for assistance and assistive robotics, and designing innovative robotic technologies for health and autonomy.

Career pathways

Doctoral studies in automatic control, robotics or computer science for human assistance; R&D roles in design of assistive technologies for persons with reduced mobility or rehabilitation.
