Introduction to ASIR
ASIR institute is a non-profit scientific research organization registered with the approval of the French government. Since its establishment on February 13, 2015, ASIR Labs has been committed to becoming a pioneer in the fields of smart healthcare, intelligent robotics and visible light communication and positioning technologies. Headquartered in Paris, France, this romantic city not only gives ASIR a deep cultural heritage, but also provides it with rich research resources and an innovative atmosphere.
Prof. Jean – Marie Nianga, the French contact person of the lab, is a professor and doctoral supervisor at the University of Lille, France, and vice president of the ASIR Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, France. His main research fields include mechanical engineering and material science, especially with outstanding contributions in medical material applications. Prof. Nianga’s research focuses on the mechanical behavior of structures and materials, particularly in the areas of stress, thermal dynamics and fractal analysis of surface roughness. His research also deals with the fracture mechanics of piezoelectric materials, which are widely used in medical devices due to their ability to generate electrical charges under mechanical stress. He has been involved in the development of theoretical models for the homogenization of piezoelectric materials that have improved the durability and performance of these materials in medical and industrial applications. In the field of biomedical materials, Prof. Nyanga’s research has contributed to the enhancement of the properties of materials used in prosthetics and medical implants, in particular durability, mechanical properties and the interaction of synthetic materials with biological tissues. His research on surface roughness and contact surfaces has played a key role in improving the biocompatibility and wear resistance of medical implants, which ensures that devices such as prosthetics can operate efficiently over long periods of time.
The Chinese contact of the lab, Prof. Wang Zefeng, is a sea-based expert of the China Association for Science and Technology, selected as one of the top ten scientific and technological leaders of Chinese in Europe, an overseas specially-appointed expert of Zhejiang Province, one of the six talent peaks of Jiangsu Province, and an innovation and entrepreneurship leader of Nanjing, and is now a specially-appointed professor and doctoral supervisor of Huzhou Normal University, as well as the director of the postgraduate program on Perception and Control Technology of the School of Information Technology and Engineering of Huzhou Normal University. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Applied Physics, Master’s degree in Mechanical and Systems Engineering, and Ph.D. degree in Electromechanical Acoustics and Robotics Engineering from the University of Paris VI (former Pierre-Marie Curie University, now Sorbonne University), France. D., postdoctoral research at Harbin Institute of Technology, and Associate Professor at Université Catholique de Lille, France. He returned to China in 2017 as an invited expert and visiting professor at YNCREA University, France, and joined Huzhou Normal University as an invited professor at the end of 2020, where he is jointly training PhD students with Sorbonne University and Lille University, France.
ASIR’s research team consists of top researchers from all over the world, whose professional backgrounds and diversified perspectives bring unlimited innovation and vitality to the lab. The ASIR Lab is also governed by a number of global companies, such as OCEAS from France, which specializes in underwater robotics; Global Europe Asia Consulting from Spain, which specializes in big data analysis; and Nanjing Topu Intelligent Technology from China, whose achievements in the field of smart healthcare are particularly outstanding. The joining of these governing bodies not only brings an international perspective to ASIR, but also promotes scientific research exchanges and cooperation in different cultural contexts.
In the field of smart healthcare, the ASIR Lab is committed to using AI technology to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare services, including disease-assisted diagnosis, treatment plan preference, electronic medical record systems, telemedicine and Internet-based diagnosis and treatment. The lab also explores how to use intelligent medical technology for disease prevention and control, and how to improve the refinement of hospital management through intelligent data analysis.
Intelligent robotics is another research focus of the ASIR lab, which develops robotic systems that can adapt to complex environments and perform diverse tasks. The research scope covers integrated structure-function-performance design of robots, interaction control and behavioral fusion of bio-mechanical-electrical systems, and multi-robot collaborative whole-area sensing technology, etc. The ASIR Lab’s robotics technologies for specific application scenarios, such as the research on highly mobile wheel-footed bionic robots for high plateau and complex environments, have demonstrated its profound strengths in this field.
Visible light communication positioning technology is one of the cutting-edge research areas of ASIR Labs. The lab explores high-precision indoor positioning technology through visible light signals, which is of great significance for the development of new types of business such as autonomous driving, smart factories and augmented reality.
ASIR Labs always welcomes exchanges and cooperation from all walks of life with an open attitude. Whether it is academic seminars, technical exchanges or project cooperation, ASIR is willing to discuss and research with scientific research institutions, enterprises and individual researchers around the world. The laboratory believes that through cooperation and exchange, it can better promote the sharing of scientific research resources, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and make greater contributions to the development of human society.
ASIR Laboratory is a scientific research organization with international vision and cooperative spirit, which is headquartered in Paris, and has established close cooperative relationships with several partners in China and internationally, and always opens its door to welcome scientific research peers all over the world to explore the mysteries of science and create a better future together.
