SAR Program - Advanced Systems and Robotics

Visual spec MR Advanced systems and robotics

National Master's Degree (DNM) in Advanced Systems and Robotics (SAR)

Campus

Arts et Métiers Campus Arts et Métiers Paris

Pedagogy

This program lasts two years.
M1: offered at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Paris as part of the "Factory of the Future - Mechanical Engineering" program.

Presentation

The national master's degree is part of the development of mechanical systems equipped with a certain level of intelligence capable of providing autonomy and automation such that it is possible to:

Improving production and reducing the drudgery of work
Simplify people's lives and provide people with disabilities, in particular, with the means to live more comfortably.

With a strong focus on mechatronics (the synergistic and systemic combination of mechanics, electronics, and real-time computing), this course covers the following topics:

The mechanics of multi-body (rigid) systems
Control systems, sensors, and actuators
Electronics and signal processing (image, localization, filtering)
Engineering for health (biomechanics, surgical robotics)

Objectives

The goal is to train specialists capable of addressing issues related to the design, analysis, optimization, and control of complex systems and intelligent machines, among which robots occupy a prominent place.

This training program is designed to meet the wide range of research, development, and production needs related to these advanced "mechatronic" systems, which are of paramount importance in all areas of activity (transportation, manufacturing, robotics, home automation, health technologies, etc.).

Skills acquired

High-level skills will be acquired in solid mechanics, automation, signal processing, and computer science.

Program

The program is structured into two semesters: one semester of classes and one semester of internship (6 months). The semester of classes consists of 4 compulsory courses followed by 4 typical pathways that share several common teaching units:

Advanced system control,
Mobile robotics
Social robotics
Collaborative robotics

Additional course units may be taken outside of the study contract.

Validation

Traditional classes with documents and final exam.

Some courses use experimental and digital platforms as support for practical work or tutorials. In this case, practical work and tutorial grades are taken into account.

Benefits of the training

Responds to strong industrial demand (robotics plan launched by the government to support the robotization of SMEs and SMIs), particularly in the development of embedded systems and robots where there is a need for increasing adaptability and autonomy (aeronautics, transportation, healthcare, etc.).
Recognized in industrial and academic circles
Original, topical, and multidisciplinary teaching and research areas
Relies on renowned laboratories at partner institutions (Sorbonne University, ENSTA, Mines ParisTech, etc.

Career opportunities

The career opportunities for graduates of this program include research and development departments working on new products and processes, engineering departments, and mechatronics design offices in both the public and private sectors.

The areas of activity most specifically concerned by these opportunities are:

mechanical and mechatronic engineering and manufacturing
aerospace and aviation industry
the automotive industry and transportation:
the maintenance sector
the education, research, and learning sectors
the health technology sector

Continuing education

The training program is based on a set of Arts et Métiers laboratorieslaboratories, as well as partner institutions that enable students to prepare a doctorate within the framework of associated doctoral schools.

Admissions

Admission criteria

This program is intended for students with a basic background in engineering sciences who have completed their first year of a master's degree, as well as students in their final year of engineering school as part of a dual degree program (in particular students from co-accredited institutions: Arts et Métiers, ENSTA ParisTech, Mines ParisTech, and Polytech-UPMC) or students who hold an engineering degree. It is also open to foreign students who have received equivalent training.
