With advanced automation and control systems, robotic arms increase productivity and precision while reducing human error. Many models are equipped with sensors for real-time feedback, allowing them to safely adapt to changing environments. Their applications range from production lines to medical surgeries and scientific research, making them essential tools for modern automation and driving innovation in a variety of fields. As technology advances, the capabilities of robotic arms continue to expand, shaping the future of automation.

All-terrain unmanned vehicles are robotic systems specifically designed to navigate and operate in complex and challenging terrain. These vehicles are equipped with advanced sensors and cameras that enable them to detect obstacles, assess their surroundings and perform tasks autonomously. Their rugged design allows them to traverse rough terrain, including rocky surfaces, mud and uneven ground, making them ideal for disaster response, search and rescue missions and environmental monitoring applications. With real-time data collection and analysis capabilities, these unmanned vehicles can provide valuable insights in hard-to-reach areas, improving the safety and efficiency of a variety of operations. Their versatility and adaptability make them an essential tool for researchers and professionals working in diverse environments.

Unmanned airships are advanced robotic platforms designed for complex terrain that can easily traverse challenging terrain. These blimps combine the advantages of air mobility and stability, enabling them to operate in areas that are difficult to reach by traditional drones or ground vehicles. Equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors, they can conduct aerial surveys, monitor environmental conditions and collect data in real time. Their ability to hover and maintain a stable position makes them particularly useful in missions such as wildlife monitoring, disaster assessment and infrastructure inspection. With long flight times and the ability to cover large areas, these unmanned airships are indispensable tools for researchers, emergency responders and environmental scientists to improve operational efficiency and data collection in complex environments.

The research and development of visible light communication (VLC) and positioning technology aims to utilize visible light as a medium for information transmission and promote the innovation of modern communication and positioning systems. With the increasing demand for high-speed and efficient communication in the society, traditional wireless technologies are facing problems such as spectrum congestion and signal interference. Visible light communication, as an emerging technology, shows great potential, especially in indoor environments with unique advantages. The lab is equipped with state-of-the-art optical equipment, laser light sources and high-sensitivity sensors to support a variety of experiments and research projects. Our research interests cover optical modulation techniques, signal processing algorithms, optical communication network design, light source selection and indoor positioning system development. Through in-depth study of optical signals of different wavelengths and modulations, we strive to achieve high-bandwidth, low-latency data transmission while ensuring system stability and reliability. We also explore a variety of optical modulation techniques, such as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), to improve data transmission efficiency. In terms of positioning technology, we develop visible light-based positioning systems that can provide high-precision location services for smart homes, IoT, smart transportation, and medical monitoring. Compared with traditional GPS systems, optical positioning technology performs better in indoor environments and can overcome the problem of weak or unavailable satellite signals. Our research also includes optimizing positioning algorithms under different lighting conditions to ensure efficient positioning in various environments. In addition, the lab actively cooperates with the industry to promote the practical application of research results, and participates in the development of technical standards and industrial promotion. Academic exchanges and technical seminars are held regularly, inviting experts and scholars from home and abroad to share the latest research results and technical developments, and promoting interdisciplinary cooperation. Through these activities, we hope to inspire innovation and promote the wide application of visible light technology to improve people’s quality of life and work efficiency. Our goal is to provide a solid foundation for future communication and localization solutions and to promote the continuous progress and development of visible light technology. We look forward to exploring the infinite possibilities of visible light technology with domestic and international research organizations and enterprises to create a smarter and more efficient future.

The Smart Healthcare Project is centered on “Science and Technology for Health” and aims to improve the level of medical services in France and the health of local residents through the introduction of cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT). The project focuses on the construction of a telemedicine platform, which realizes the interconnection of medical institutions in China and France, and provides remote consultation, expert guidance and medical training services for grass-roots doctors; at the same time, it introduces intelligent diagnostic and therapeutic equipments, such as portable testers and AI-assisted diagnostic systems, which are used to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the detection of common diseases. In addition, the project is committed to building a regional medical and healthcare big data platform to monitor and analyze public health data, providing a scientific basis for infectious disease prevention, disease management and policy formulation. In response to the lack of medical resources in remote areas, the Smart Healthcare Project will deploy mobile medical vans and portable diagnostic and treatment equipment to provide basic medical services and health checks to more communities. Through the Smart Healthcare Project, AIFORU not only establishes a modernized healthcare system for France, but also deepens the cooperation between China and France in the field of healthcare, and injects new impetus for the realization of “Health without Borders”, bringing more comprehensive and convenient healthcare protection to the people of France.

The Smart Agriculture Project is committed to promoting the modernization of agriculture in the France, and through the introduction of advanced scientific and technological means and digital management modes, it can enhance the efficiency of agricultural production and achieve sustainable development. The project introduces precision agriculture technologies, such as smart irrigation, soil monitoring and drone technology, to help farmers grasp soil moisture, weather conditions and crop growth in real time, so as to realize scientific cultivation and optimal allocation of resources. At the same time, the smart agriculture project also promotes modern farm equipment and green agriculture technology to improve agricultural output and crop quality and reduce environmental impact. To address the distribution and marketing of agricultural products, the project has built a digital agricultural platform that optimizes the production and marketing interface through data analysis, reduces waste of agricultural products, and improves the profitability of farmers. In addition, AIFORU is actively engaged in agricultural skills training to help farmers master modern agricultural technology and market-oriented operation mode, and enhance their risk-resistant ability. The Smart Agriculture Project not only promotes the transformation of agriculture in the France from traditional cultivation to modernization, but also establishes a close cooperation between China and France in terms of agricultural technology and experience sharing. Through this project, AIFORU expects to create a smart, efficient and sustainable agro-ecosystem, which will provide strong support for food security and income generation for farmers in France, as well as contribute to the long-term development of the country’s agricultural economy.
