Projet IMPALA

L’objectif du projet IMPALA est d’évaluer l’apport du radar comme solution alternative aux moyens de perception en robotique mobile d’extérieur. Cet article illustre à travers une application de localisation et de cartographie simultanées (SLAM), les potentialités d’un radar panoramique à modulation de fréquence (FMCW) qui a été développé au cours du projet. Donnant accès à l’information de distance et de vitesse des entités mobiles présentes dans l’environnement, le radar permet d’envisager des applications de détection et de suivi d’objets mobiles (DATMO) dont un premier résultat est présenté ici.The main objective of the project IMPALA is to demonstrate that radar technology is an alternative solution to classical perception systems used in outdoor mobile robotics. This paper presents the rotating FMCW radar developed during the project and results from the combined use of radar and "Simultaneous Localization And Mapping" (SLAM) techniques in outdoor environment. Range and velocity from mobile objects can be extracted, which lead to future applications of DATMO (Detection And Tracking of Moving Objects) the first results are presented here

The Mediterranean region under climate change

This book has been published by Allenvi (French National Alliance for Environmental Research) to coincide with the 22nd Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) in Marrakesh. It is the outcome of work by academic researchers on both sides of the Mediterranean and provides a remarkable scientific review of the mechanisms of climate change and its impacts on the environment, the economy, health and Mediterranean societies. It will also be valuable in developing responses that draw on “scientific evidence” to address the issues of adaptation, resource conservation, solutions and risk prevention. Reflecting the full complexity of the Mediterranean environment, the book is a major scientific contribution to the climate issue, where various scientific considerations converge to break down the boundaries between disciplines
