The module will cover the following:
- Link between transfer function and differential equation
- Representation and continuous state feedback (eigenvalues, stability)
- Representation and sampled state feedback
- Status feedback control without and with full loopback, LQR control
- State Observers
- Non-linear control with examples
Practical work: implementation of the acquired knowledge on real examples (e.g. electric motors), programming in python (numpy and control libraries).
Signal Processing
ECTS
4 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This course completes a basic training in signal processing with a thorough knowledge of deterministic or random digital signals. This knowledge is essential in all engineering sciences, as digital signal processing is currently used in the majority of applications.
In a first part (10h30 lecture, 6h lab), the course deals with the sampling and quantization aspects of continuous signals and the relation between digital signals and original continuous signals. We define the discrete Fourier transform of digital signals, its estimation and its use on real deterministic signals.
The second part of the course (9 hours lecture, 4.5 hours lab, 3 hours lab) is dedicated to random signals and how the properties of some random signals can be used either to reduce the random part of a signal whose deterministic part is to be privileged (filtering, increase of the signal-to-noise ratio, ...) or to improve the transmission of information or to identify complex linearized systems.

- This course completes the basic training in analog electronics with in-depth knowledge of signal filtering, amplification and modulation. This knowledge is indispensable for the understanding and realization of analog electronic systems in all fields of engineering sciences.
- The teaching is organized in the form of lectures, tutorials and practical work, with the possibility of mini projects.
Digital Electronics
ECTS
6 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This teaching unit, devoted to the basics of digital electronics, is structured in an original way around a technical project, carried out individually or in pairs, whose progress will follow the progression of the associated courses.
Each project topic will be assigned at the beginning of the teaching unit.
The main notions of digital electronics will be deepened through lectures and practical work can complete the theoretical aspects to guide the progress of the project.
Energy Conversion Systems
ECTS
5 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This teaching unit is made up of several parts, the first of which deals with the power electronics structures required to supply an electronic system. The second part will deal with the current or voltage regulation of these structures. A third part will deal with the conversion functions necessary for the control of MCC and DC Brushless actuators.
The last part presents the topologies of actuators for robotics and their implementation. The control of a DC motor and the self-control of a synchronous motor will illustrate this last part.
Practical work will allow to observe the principle and the implementation of regulated systems for electronics and actuators. This UE could be the support of the M1 project subjects.
Computer Engineering for EEA
ECTS
4 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
Computer engineering is the discipline that deals with the design, development and manufacture of computer systems, both hardware and software.
This discipline has become fundamental in the engineering sciences, whether in electronics, robotics, signal processing, measurement, etc., due to the important role that computers have taken in all these fields.
This module aims at bringing students to develop computer code in a volume corresponding to the scale of a complete software. The quantity of code associated naturally gives rise to a need to structure the code so that it remains viable, and the concepts associated with code structuring will therefore be addressed or reinforced.
The teaching is therefore organized for the most part around practical work and projects. The context concerns for a large part deep themes of EEA: signal processing (acquisition chain), instrument interfacing, and data transmission by internet on embedded Linux platform. The theme of event-based programming through the development of graphical interfaces will also be addressed. The supporting languages will be Labview and Python. Portions of C/C++ can be used at the initiative of the students in the projects.

Description*:
1 - The aim is to enable students to understand the importance of a well-prepared application in line with an internship or job advertisement or in relation to the activities of a professional structure in the case of an unsolicited application; to write CVs and cover letters; to get to know themselves better in terms of personality; to use new technologies (social networks and job boards) and to orient their research in line with their professional project Finally, to know how to prepare and behave during job interviews.
2 - The aim is to enable students to write a scientific article following the completion of a project. To do so, they must know the objectives and characteristics of the project, the plan to be applied, the different stages of realization as well as the rules of presentation. Then, to present their project orally, students must know and be able to apply the general structure of the presentation; define appropriate and relevant visual aids; respect the rules of oral expression in order to express themselves correctly and professionally (vocabulary, syntax, etc.); adopt behaviors that energize the speech and enable the audience to be hooked.

Image Processing
ECTS

Component
Faculty of Science
Nowadays, image processing is omnipresent in information technologies: medicine, biology, agriculture, entertainment, culture, measurement, mechanics...
Image processing consists of applying mathematical transformations to images in order to modify their appearance or to extract information from them. More generally, image processing aims to manipulate the underlying information contained in an image. If it has long been achieved through electronic circuits, image processing is nowadays almost exclusively done digitally, ie via algorithms programmed generally with an imperative language (C, C++, Java, Python, ...).
This course aims to provide a solid foundation in image processing. It covers image formation and acquisition, color transformations, morphological operations, geometric transformations, compression, frequency transformations, recognition and matching techniques, ... and an introduction to deep learning methods. The courses are complemented by support videos.
The teaching unit is mainly composed of 11 didactic courses dealing with the basics in the main fields of image processing and 3 practical work sessions whose subjects are to be chosen among 6 proposals. The students can choose to carry out the work on images that they bring corresponding to their field of training.
