Add to this the need to process and use data in real time, and you get a whole set of new problems to solve. Robotics presents some additional challenges around multi-sensor data fusion, environmental perception, and safe, efficient interaction and cooperation between humans and industrial systems. CEA-List\u2019s research directly addresses this changing industrial environment. We are developing advanced instrumentation, measurement, and AI technologies and methods specifically for advanced systems. Our research topics range from cognitive robotics and planning for robotic gripping to innovative measurement techniques for severe environments in manufacturing, nuclear power, healthcare, and science. <br\/><br\/>We are helping make industrial systems more efficient, flexible, and resilient through new approaches to the physical measurement, acquisition, processing, and interpretation of complex data and the integration of data into decision-making and control systems. Our goal is to develop tools that are safe and easy to learn and understand, keeping humans at the center of supervision and decision-making processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\" style=\"margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--large);margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--large)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"859\" src=\"https:\/\/rapport-scientifique-2025-list.cea.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lintrumentation-numerique-et-lusine-du-futur-1024x859.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-64\" style=\"width:610px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rapport-scientifique-2025-list.cea.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lintrumentation-numerique-et-lusine-du-futur-1024x859.png 1024w, https:\/\/rapport-scientifique-2025-list.cea.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lintrumentation-numerique-et-lusine-du-futur-300x252.png 300w, https:\/\/rapport-scientifique-2025-list.cea.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lintrumentation-numerique-et-lusine-du-futur-768x644.png 768w, https:\/\/rapport-scientifique-2025-list.cea.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lintrumentation-numerique-et-lusine-du-futur.png 1216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 R.
