Moovlab’s crowdfunding campaign ended in November. The Leti spinoff raised €253,000 from around twenty new investors, including angel investors and two investment funds. The fresh capital will be used to scale up the activity measurement sensors in the company’s innovative and twice-patented Let’s Play Fitness solution. The funds will also be used to develop and […] >>

The DAMP* project, led by two research scientists from IMEP-LaHC, was accepted by incubator Linksium in December, and will receive €180,000 in support. The purpose of the project is to develop a probe built on commercially-available sensors to characterize the humidity, salinity, and conductivity of liquid and solid environments. The probe will have to be […] >>

Grenoble Institute of Technology’s Phelma engineering school came in nineteenth in the overall rankings in L’Étudiant magazine’s 2019 survey of 174 engineering schools, climbing five slots over the previous year. Phelma tied with the prestigious Ecole Polytechnique in the academic excellence category. The school’s stellar results were due in part to the large number of […] >>

In January, IoT-type sensors were rolled out for testing at Maison MINATEC. The sensors are measuring things like air quality, the use of mobile room partitions, and the number of visitors. Some of the underlying technologies were developed at Leti and being scaled up for manufacturing by companies like eLichens, JYSE, and Adeunis RF. The […] >>

Can artificial intelligence be trusted to drive an autonomous vehicle if all of the computing is done in the cloud? Only if there are absolutely no transmission issues, which would delay the real-time decision-making required to operate these vehicles safely. Leti is investigating embedded artificial intelligence (AI embedded in the integrated circuit) as a solution […] >>
