Faced with the accessibility problems affecting a growing number of deaf people, researchers are looking at new technologies for learning sign languages. In the digital field, research is currently focusing on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) that can automatically translate written or spoken speech into sign language and vice versa, using avatars signing in 3D....

Net neutrality in the face of network evolution
(in french only ) Un des principes moteurs de l’Internet est son « ouverture », ou sommairement son accès équitable pour tous à tous les services. Cette notion de « neutralité du Net » est vivement débattue à travers le monde depuis plus de 20 ans, et souvent considérée comme un acquis. Mais l’évolution des réseaux de communication pose de nouveaux défis pour ce principe fondateur. Doit-il être [..]

The smart, ocean-friendly fishing net
IT for sustainable fishing and more respectful of the oceans At present, fishing is a real societal issue, particularly with regard to random catches of species without distinction of fish, correlated with the impact on the ecosystem and on the seabed. Teams of scientists are interested in developing artificial intelligence for more sustainable and ocean-friendly fishing, i.e. fishing sensibly [..]
IA leads the charge against multiple sclerosis
May 30 was World Multiple Sclerosis Day, an incurable disease that attacks the nervous system. Artificial intelligence could enable earlier diagnosis, for better effectiveness of treatments to slow its progression. Scientists are working in this direction, including the Empenn team, which is participating in the PRIMUS (Projection in Multiple sclerosis) programme, founded by the University [..]
It's a first! The "intelligent" electric wheelchair tested in cultural venues in Rennes
A higher step taken ... As part of the European ADAPT, Marie Babel (INSA associate professor in the Rainbow research team) is working on the development of an electric wheelchair driving aid with the teams at the Saint Hélier centre. Today, not all people with disabilities have access to electric wheelchairs. At the risk of jeopardising the safety of people, visual impairment, for example, does [..]
