The research centre of the Pierrard-Virton School of Engineering offers a wide range of Continuing Education, Applied Research and Services to Society (FoRS).

Within this range of expertise, the FoRS research centre has particularly developed its skills in the disciplines of: modelling, automation, mechanics, robotics, production engineering, energy, life cycle analysis (LCA), computer science, the Internet of Things, data intelligence, machine learning and (cyber) security.

Le projet SPAGHYTI vise le développement d’applications pour les secteurs de l’agriculture et de la gestion forestière basées sur de l’imagerie en télédétection hyperspectrale. D’une part la pression sur ces secteurs est de plus en plus grande, autant de par les objectifs macroscopique de sécurité alimentaire et de mitigation des impacts négatifs des activités humaines, que de par les nouveaux défis du changement climatique. D’autre part, les technologies hyperspectrales sont arrivées à maturité pour sortir des laboratoires.

Ultralight helicopters have opened up the market to make helicopter flying accessible to many more people than the general aviation class for which both the purchase price and the operating costs are prohibitive to the general public.

The Dynali H3 Sport is an ultralight helicopter authorised in certain European countries under the ultralight helicopter category (MTOW 500 – 600 kg). The Dynali is certified for 500 kg and retains a comfortable reserve of power.

Calyos is a leading expert in the design and manufacture of two-phase thermal management systems. Calyos specifically focuses on loop heat pipes, micro-channel heat pipes and pulsating heat pipes. Calyos has developed several solutions for three specific cooling applications: power electronics, processors, and batteries. Calyos also develops custom solutions beyond those applications for example, engine oil heat recovery.

Le projet SW_AMPASENS est un projet co-labellisé du pôle aéronautique SKYWIN et du pôle de l'Ingénierie Mécanique, le pôle MECATECH.

Le projet IADAS naît de la convergence technologique et économique du monde des drones et des satellites, résultat de la révolution NewSpace et de l’autonomisation des drones. Dans ces deux secteurs, il y a un grand besoin de pouvoir accueillir des algorithmes d’intelligence artificielle (IA).
Dans IADAS, des méthodes de réduction des algorithmes seront développées en parallèle avec le développement d’une plateforme performante et adaptées aux drones et aux satellites NewSpace.
