The Automation and Diagnostics Division (PAD) develops tools for the analysis, modeling, diagnostics/prognostics and control of dynamical systems, in particular for embedded, complex, and network systems. These new methodologies are in line with application challenges and are validated by experimental implementations.
 
The four PAD teams (DANCE, Infinity, MODUS and SAFE) cover a wide range of scientific themes :
 
  •  dynamical systems on networks or with infinite dimension ;
  •  uncertain systems and data-based models ;
  •  safe, controlled and monitored cyber-physical systems.

Innovation

PAD's research activities are at the heart of major projects such as Persyval-lab, PEPR "Risques", Carnot LSI and Institut MIAI. Several international projects are led by PAD researchers, including two European projects (ERC-AdG Scale-Freeback and ERC-POC e-Mob Twin) led by C. CANUDAS DE WIT. 

PAD works closely with a number of industrial partners and applied research institutes, including Schneider Electric, General Electric, Rio Tinto, SEB, Renault, Volvo, EDF, Michelin, SysNav, IFP Energies Nouvelles and CEA.

Some of this research has led to the creation of start-ups, such as Amiral Technologies and Entroview.
