The ELF on the Paris campus

building in Paris

The Evolutive Learning Factories program Evolutive Learning Factories to transform our campuses into Industry 4.0 training factories. Find out how it is being rolled out on the Paris campus.

The Paris campus is transforming its teaching spaces into workshops working together on the theme of sustainable health.
 

Featured project: the prosthetic foot

Prostheses, orthoses, and exoskeletons fall, by definition, within the regulatory scope of medical devices when their purpose is to compensate for a disability. These devices are subject to so many constraints (weight, bulk, reliability, safety, noise, temperature, impact, etc.) that their development requires constantly challenging the state of the art in technology.
This gave rise to the idea of creating a case study in which, over the course of a semester, students work on designing a prosthetic foot for children, from software design to the testing room, including 3D printing of prototypes.
