Health Sciences

The Faculty of Health Sciences teaches the 3 cycles of medical studies: from PASS (integrated into the faculty) to the 3rd cycle including DES, DESC, DU and DIU. The lessons are given mainly on two sites: Pitié-Salpêtrière and Saint-Antoine. The faculty also provides paramedical education: speech therapy, psychomotricity and orthoptics. The Saint-Antoine site includes a midwifery school.

Advanced Systems and Robotics (SAR)

The SAR training aims to train specialists in the design, modeling, analysis, optimization and control of complex robotic systems. It covers the numerous research and development needs related to advanced "mechatronic" systems in sectors of activity ranging from the mechanical and mechatronic production industry to the ground and air transport industry, as well as the health technology sectors.

The SAR course is open to apprenticeship.

 

Advanced Systems and Robotics (SAR)

Objectives

The teaching proposed in this Master's program of the Automation and Robotics specialization provides basic multidisciplinary knowledge in engineering sciences specific to this field as well as specific knowledge to deal with problems related to mechanical systems with autonomous capabilities. The training focuses on the aspects of modeling, simulation, and control of these systems, while integrating the multidisciplinary aspect specific to robotic systems (perception of the environment, reflex type control, artificial intelligence, interaction with the environment). The program aims to train specialists in the emerging field of complex mechanical systems interacting with their environment, with a research/development profile capable of meeting the needs of many fields of activity: transportation, production, robotics, home automation, health technologies, etc.

Organization

The training is spread over the two years of the M1 and M2 Master’s degree. The scientific fundamentals and the tools of the engineer are introduced in the first year by the common core curriculum. The second year covers the elements of the specialization. Some of the courses are taught at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers: the student can design his or her program by choosing a sub-set of course units within the teaching on offer.

Two internships are offered, in the first year (8 weeks minimum) and in the second year (six months). A multidisciplinary project is also offered in S3 of the second year of the Master's program.

 

Target audience and prerequisites

The program is open to students with a general degree in mechanics, electronics, physics or mathematics, or an equivalent degree.

The second year is open to students with a Master 1 in Mechanics, Robotics, Electronics, Physics or Mathematics; to students with an engineering degree and solid knowledge of Mechanics, Electronics, Physics, or Mathematics; or to students in their final year at an engineering school (ENSAM).

In S2, the apprentice students do not follow the ROS and experimental robotics UE, nor the internship UE. Instead, a 12 ECTS UE is dedicated to the evaluation of their work in the company. Finally, the OIP teaching is replaced by an English UE (3 ECTS).

Third semester (30 ECTS)

The third semester consists of a common core curriculum that is followed by all students, whether apprentices or not. The remaining courses are selected from a set of optional courses. The assignment of these optional courses is made by the pedagogical team according to three criteria: a) the student's wishes (collected during the first day of the academic year), b) the capacity of each course, c) the student's experience in relation to the prerequisites of the requested course.
