Fin novembre 2024, l’UNamur a accueilli le 23ème congrès de BENEVOL, un séminaire de recherche annuel qui donne la possibilité aux chercheurs internationaux de se rencontrer et de discuter de nouvelles idées, de questions importantes et de recherches de pointe dans le domaine du génie, de la maintenance et de l'évolution des logiciels.  

Cette dernière décennie a vu la commercialisation de nombreux casques de réalité mixte. Certains ciblent un usage récréatif occasionnel (par exemple, le Meta Quest 3), d'autres sont commercialisés comme des plateformes informatiques de nouvelle génération (par exemple, l'Apple Vision Pro). À mesure que ces dispositifs s'intègrent dans notre vie quotidienne, ils redéfinissent la manière dont nous---en tant qu'êtres humains---interagissons avec eux.Leur nature diffère significativement des dispositifs informatiques traditionnels (par exemple, les ordinateurs ou les smartphones), ce qui introduit de multiples changements de paradigme induits par plusieurs facteurs. D'une part, ils intègrent et démocratisent divers capteurs permettant d'utiliser le regard, les gestes de la main et la parole comme moyens d'interaction, servant ainsi de vecteurs efficaces pour l'adoption d'interfaces utilisateur multimodales. D'autre part, leur nature portable implique des changements contextuels continus qui modifient fondamentalement la conception des interfaces et redéfinissent l'interaction homme-machine à mesure que leur usage devient omniprésent.Pour mieux comprendre de tels systèmes, cette recherche est divisée en trois axes. Premièrement, nous immergeons des utilisateurs dans un environnement pervasif délibérément construit afin d'explorer leurs perceptions tout en examinant leurs attitudes vis-à-vis de la gestion de contenus intrusifs par des interventions manuelles, mettant ainsi en lumière des besoins émergeant de tels contextes. Deuxièmement, nous explorons de nouveaux canaux de communication en exploitant des métaphores et en concevant des techniques d'interaction qui utilisent plusieurs modalités pour permettre une communication plus naturelle, répondant ainsi aux besoins qui émergent d'un usage pervasif. Enfin, après avoir conçu des techniques d'interaction multimodales, nous examinons les exigences techniques et passons en revue les outils existants qui soutiennent le développement d'interfaces utilisateur multimodales, identifions les limitations de certains de ces outils, et y remédions par l'introduction d'un nouvel outil, intitulé Ummi.À travers ces trois perspectives complémentaires, cette thèse traite six questions de recherche et contribue aux domaines de la réalité mixte et de l'interaction multimodale.Le juryProf. Vincent Englebert - Université de Namur, BelgiqueProf. Bruno Dumas - Université de Namur, BelgiqueProf. Xavier Devroey - Université de Namur, BelgiqueProf. Marcos Serrano - Université de Toulouse, FranceProf. Denis Lalanne - Université de Fribourg, SuisseEvènement gratuit sur inscription.

Détecter une panne avant qu’elle ne survienne : c’est l’objectif de la recherche menée par Antoine Hubermont, doctorant à l’UNamur. Ce projet baptisé Monsater est financé par le SPW Recherche dans le cadre du programme Win4Doc en collaboration avec l’entreprise spatiale Telespazio Belgium. Il s’inscrit au cœur d’un enjeu stratégique : garantir la fiabilité de systèmes complexes, notamment dans le domaine spatial. 

24 heures de live, une dizaine d’ordinateurs et de consoles de jeux vidéo, une quinzaine de participants… et un objectif : récolter un maximum d’argent au profit du Télévie. Fort du succès de sa première édition, le Cercle Informatique de l’UNamur s’est relancé dans l’aventure avec un nouveau marathon caritatif, qui s’est déroulé du 7 au 8 avril dernier. Au total, l’événement a permis de récolter 1 831,91 euros pour le Télévie.

Abstract Transmission tower inspection is a crucial step in maintaining high-voltage electrical infrastructure. To perform these inspections, UAVs have proven to be a groundbreaking method for conducting such inspections. The UAV provide a fast, precise, cheap, and modular way to perform thorough audits. The next step in the transmission tower audit is to automate the analysis task. During this thesis, the goal of achieving a relative and adaptive autonomous flight for the transmission tower was attempted. In the first part of the thesis, we explain how the audits are executed. We explain the history of the UAV and describe them. We then make a small state-of-the-art Computer Vision neural network. This first part brings the basic understanding of the domain. In the second part of the thesis, we present our distinct contributions. Due to the sponsorship of this thesis, we highlight the industrial and scientific contributions. The first contribution is the creation of a platform that enables a comprehensive analysis of flights within the domain. That platform displayed flows and offered some guidance on how to perform audits more effectively. Thanks to the software, we were able to showcase the capabilities of our autonomous system in comparison to other solutions.The second scientific contribution is the creation of datasets around the domain of transmission towers. To train the machine learning algorithm, well-curated datasets were necessary. Due to the scarcity of data in that domain, we decided to study the impact of synthetic data to help train AI in computer vision. The datasets showed promising results in different ML algorithms such as UNet and Mask2Former. In some situations, hybrid dataset-trained models outperform models trained on only the physical world dataset. The third scientific contribution involves training a Convolutional Neural Network for transmission tower segmentation. This modern neural network is designed for use in an embedded computer on a UAV. The fourth contribution is the development of different flight controller algorithms during the thesis. These autopilots ranged from a more basic flight assistant for the pilot to an autonomous flight system. A large-scale comparison is done of the different flight controllers.The final scientific contribution is a study on monocular depth perception in the context of a UAV flying around a transmission tower. This study compares six state-of-the-art pre-trained models. A large data set is created using photogrammetry software to generate pixel-wise depth annotations for each image. The study compares the models using different metrics and ranks them based on their capabilities.  Jury Prof. Tuci Elio - University of Namur, BelgiumProf. Anthony Cleve - University of Namur, BelgiumProf. Pierre-Yves Schobbens - University of Namur, BelgiumProf. Alvaro Gutierrez - Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, EspagneMr. Fabian Duchesne - Qualitics SPRLProf. Anders Lyhne Christensen - SDU, Denmark Evènement public et gratuit - Inscription obligatoire Je m'inscris
