AI-based shape generation and registration for dental restorations

This project aims to advance the development of a 3D shape generation software that uses generative adversarial networks to design dental crowns. A current prototype version of the software has been developed that allows generating dental restorations represented as point clouds. While currently generated shapes are coherent with the overall generation context of the crown, […]

Conception d’un système de commande de portes palières (PDI)

Les portes palières sont des portes automatiques, souvent vitrées, que l’on retrouve en bordure de voie au niveau des quais des stations de métro. Elles permettent de séparer physiquement les quais et la voie de métro, dans le but d’empêcher toute intrusion non désirée. Ces portes sont conçues pour s’ouvrir uniquement lors de l’embarquement et […]
