The ICube laboratory celebrates 10 years

The Engineering Science, Computer Science and Imaging Laboratory (ICube – CNRS/Unistra/INSA Strasbourg/Engees/INRIA Grand Est) is celebrating its tenth anniversary.

Founded in 2013, ICube is a joint research unit of the CNRS, the University of Strasbourg, INSA Strasbourg, ENGEES and INRIA. It is primarily affiliated with two CNRS institutes. The lab focuses on two disciplines: engineering, with an emphasis on physical devices, and computer science related to software and algorithms, with imaging (fast cameras, image processing, modeling, etc.) as a unifying theme.

After starting out with 350 permanent and non-permanent members, the laboratory now has over 700 members. As a partner of the Faculty of Medicine and the Strasbourg University Hospital Institute, ICube also brings together research professors from four engineering schools in Strasbourg: Télécom Physique Strasbourg, Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Strasbourg (INSA Strasbourg), École Nationale du Génie de l’Eau et de l’Environnement de Strasbourg (Engees) and Icam Strasbourg-Europe.

In terms of research, ICube focuses on six cross-disciplinary themes: industry of the future and smart factories; instrumentation, sensors and analysis; medical and surgical imaging and robotics; scientific computing; environment and sustainable development and, finally, artificial intelligence.

ICube laboratory, which is a member of Télécom & Société Numérique Carnot Institute, thus brings together equally two scientific communities at the interface between the digital and physical worlds, which has resulted in its unique structure.
