Laboratoire d'Informatique, de Robotique et de Microélectronique de Montpellier


The Montpellier Laboratory of Computer Science, Robotics, and Microelectronics is a cross-faculty research entity of the University of Montpellier and the National Center for Scientific Research.
The spectrum of research activities covered by the LIRMM ranges from circuit design, to modeling of complex agent-based systems, algorithmic studies, bio-computing, human-computer interfaces, and robotics. These activities are conducted mainly within the three scientific research departments:
The Robotics department deals with problems of synthesis, supervision and management of complex dynamic systems, and also navigation, location and piloting of autonomous vehicles present or remote, or Others for analysis, coding and image processing. One of the particularities of the LIRMM is that theory, tools, experiments and applications are present in all its fields of scientific competence.
This department has gained immense reputation in academic and industrial fraternity because of its strong industrial tie ups and groundbreaking products delivered over the years. Some famous robots that rolled out of this department are BRIGIT™ and Quattro.

Department of Microelectronics

The Microelectronics Department conducts cutting-edge research in the areas of design and testing of integrated systems and microsystems, with an emphasis on architectural, modeling and methodological aspects.

Department of Informatics

The themes of the Computer Science department range from the boundaries of mathematics to applied research: graphical algorithms, bioinformatics, cryptography, networks, databases and information systems , artificial intelligence, human-machine interaction.
