The Research at LAAS is structured in four main Research Areas:

---

Micro Nano Systems (MINAS) Micro and nanosystem modeling, design, and characterization, and development of technological processes for micro and nanosystems, mostly for communication, for electrical energy management, for chemistry and for life sciences.

---

Modeling, Optimization and Control of Systems (MOCOSY) Robust control of dynamical systems, polynomial optimization, estimation and diagnostic, supervision, filtering, operational research and production systems.

 

---

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (RIA) Sensori-motor processes, perception and environment modeling, machine cognition, learning, action and motion planning and control, decisional and cognitive architectures, aerial and field robotics, Human-robot interaction, anthropomorphic motion.

---

Critical Computer Systems (SINC) Fault tolerance, resilience in computer systems, security and safety, privacy, architectures and protocols for communication, quality of service, multimedia, software verification, distributed computing.
