Fluidetronics Chair

fluid electronics

Arts et Métiers, through its subsidiary AMValor, and MMT, which specializes in engineering and the sale of manufacturing licenses for mechatronic devices, are joining forces to create a five-year industrial chair.

This chair focuses on the development of "fluidetronic" systems, combining MMT's expertise in mechatronics with the fluidics skills of the LIFSE laboratoryArts et Métiers.

A technology partnership

The chair focuses on the development and optimization of fluidic systems, with a particular interest in:

  • Regenerative pumps
  • Positive displacement pumps
  • Centrifugal machines

The research work will include the design, analysis, optimization, and experimental and numerical characterization of these devices. The objective is to develop innovative technologies that will significantly improve the performance and durability of these systems.

Practical applications for industry

The advances resulting from this chair will find applications in various industrial sectors, with a particular focus on electric and autonomous vehicles. These innovations aim to address the challenges of energy performance and reliability in demanding industrial environments.

By combining academic and industrial expertise, this chair illustrates the desireArts et Métiers MMT to innovate together in order to meet the technological challenges of tomorrow.
