Lille Research Platform for Robotics and Intelligent Transport (PRETIL )

Platform

Description

Our platform aims to provide researchers in the field of robotics, intelligent transportation and mobility with cutting-edge equipment and to ensure its availability, maintenance and evolution. We develop robotic solutions on demand and currently support several European projects, and have obtained several national, regional and industrial contracts. The total investment in the platform's equipment is about 2.5 million euros over the last 10 years. We are open to all academic and industrial collaborations and propose services in line with our expertise.
