A propos du centre ou de la direction fonctionnelle
The Inria University of Lille centre, created in 2008, employs 360 people including 305 scientists in 15 research teams. Recognised for its strong involvement in the socio-economic development of the Hauts-De-France region, the Inria University of Lille centre pursues a close relationship with large companies and SMEs. By promoting synergies between researchers and industrialists, Inria participates in the transfer of skills and expertise in digital technologies and provides access to the best European and international research for the benefit of innovation and companies, particularly in the region.
For more than 10 years, the Inria University of Lille centre has been located at the heart of Lille's university and scientific ecosystem, as well as at the heart of Frenchtech, with a technology showroom based on Avenue de Bretagne in Lille, on the EuraTechnologies site of economic excellence dedicated to information and communication technologies (ICT).
Mission confiée
The information revolution through embedded sensors and actuators brings new possibilities but also new challenges related to the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) in agriculture, robotics, health monitoring, and elderly assistance. The design of CPS involves interdisciplinary approaches. Notable scenarios include renewable energies in power networks and connected autonomous vehicles.
Motivated by this, our aim is to develop a practical design methodology for distributed control and estimation algorithms for interconnected CPSs. Here, by practical design, we mean crucial characteristics such as safety, rapid adaptivity, and satisfying information constraints in the distributed algorithms for CPSs. In other words, to rapidly cope with unexpected contingencies while efficiently protecting the information about the environment, people, and society, in a world where everything becomes a sensor and data.
Principales activités
There are three possible proposals, each spanned over 1.5 years.
1) Generalizing the design methodology for networked control systems by synchronization enforcement and non-identical individuals, eg, to work in the setting of discrete time.
2)
- Stage 1: Understanding how to enforce synchronization using homogeneity and sliding mode control approaches, what class of non-identicalness can be considered, and what will be the obtained emergent collective behavior.
- Stage 2: Based on this general understanding, designing synchronization enforcement based tools (using homogeneity and sliding mode control approaches) for distributed estimation of uncertain large-scale systems (taking into account possible synchronization enforcement of local estimators on global parameters and states).
- Stage 3: Developing a practical design methodology for distributed control algorithms for interconnected CPSs using synchronization enforcement (and using homogeneity and averaging methods).
3) Getting motivated by neural central pattern generators on the observed properties of robust and rapid convergence with limited resources, to develop finite-time estimation and control tools that satisfy information constraints.
Compétences
The candidate should have experience in the analysis of nonlinear dynamic systems and/or in control and estimation theory. The main mission will be the development of new theories and their practical verification.

Sécurité défense :
Ce poste est susceptible d’être affecté dans une zone à régime restrictif (ZRR), telle que définie dans le décret n°2011-1425 relatif à la protection du potentiel scientifique et technique de la nation (PPST). L’autorisation d’accès à une zone est délivrée par le chef d’établissement, après avis ministériel favorable, tel que défini dans l’arrêté du 03 juillet 2012, relatif à la PPST. Un avis ministériel défavorable pour un poste affecté dans une ZRR aurait pour conséquence l’annulation du recrutement.
Politique de recrutement :
Dans le cadre de sa politique diversité, tous les postes Inria sont accessibles aux personnes en situation de handicap.
