Organization:Laboratory for Analysis and Architecture of Systems

The Laboratory for Analysis and Architecture of Systems (French: Laboratoire d'analyse et d'architectures des systèmes, LAAS) is a research laboratory linked with the French National Centre for Scientific Research (French: Centre national de la recherche scientifique, CNRS). This facility is located near other important higher education facilities in Toulouse, France : the Paul Sabatier University, SUPAERO, the ENAC, the INSA, as well as other research centers (the ONERA and the CNES).

Activities

In industrial robotics, LAAS-CNRS participates to the French project Air-Cobot. Picture of the robot in an hangar of Air France Industries.
