Reclassification: robotics comes to the aid of disassembly

DeReCo project - Robotic arm, presented during a RECLASIF visit to the Lille campus.

While most devices end up in the trash without anyone checking to see if any components could be salvaged, the DeReCo project, conducted at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Lille as part of RéCLasSIF, aims to change that. By robotizing the disassembly of electric vehicle motors, researchers are paving the way for a more efficient circular economy.

Chal’EngeAM 2026 Challenge: a 12th edition focused on digital innovation

The Chal’EngeAM 2026 Challenge brought together students from the MTI3D Master's program at the Institut Arts et Métiers Chalon-sur-Saône, the Cnam Bourgogne Franche-Comté, and the EGC Centre-Est, alongside local companies. The latter challenged the students on real business needs. Over a two-week period, the teams developed virtual reality and artificial intelligence demonstrators.

Progress on the CPER project: the Bordeaux Engineering Hub (P.I.B.) is taking shape

Bordeaux Engineering Center

The Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Bordeaux Talence continues to expand with the Pôle d’Ingénierie Bordelais (P.I.B.) real estate project, which is set to become a central hub for training and research on the campus. Covering an area of approximately 5,000 m², the P.I.B. is structured around two large complementary centers.

Two days of inter-semester orientation focused on skills and AI for students in the Grande Ecole Program

First-year studentsyear of the Grande École Program (PGE) spent two days at the beginning of January engaging in lively discussions, reflection, and learning. This return to school provided an opportunity to address two major themes for their training and for the engineers of tomorrow: the skills-based approach and the responsible use of artificial intelligence.

Séraphin Rossignol, an engineering student, is reinventing the velomobile to make it accessible to everyone.

Séraphin Rossignol Velomobile

A first-year engineering student in the Grande Ecole Program (PGE) at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Lille, Séraphin Rossignol is embarking on an entrepreneurial venture with a project to democratize the velomobile, an ultra-aerodynamic pedal-powered vehicle capable of reaching speeds of 35 to 40 km/h on flat ground, and even higher for sprinters (80 to 100 km/h).
