The MIL project, winner of the Yvelines General Council's "Urban Vehicle - City of the Future" call for projects, was presented on October 7, 2013. It brought together MUSES, INDUCT and LIVIC (an IFSTTAR laboratory) to implement two automatic functions with a 100% electric Mooville vehicle:

  • Automatic valet parking for driverless vehicles.
  • Platooning enables a single driver to move an entire fleet of vehicles. A robotic arm, an integral part of the Mooville vehicle, links the vehicles together to form a train. Each vehicle adapts its behavior to that of the lead vehicle, ensuring monotrace tracking.

CAR&D has designed trajectory tracking control laws providing for redundancy, with :

  • A loop using the leader's steering information
  • A loop only internal to the following vehicle.

360° R&D, the magazine of the Association des Structures de Recherche sous Contrat (ASRC) publishes a feature on CAR&D in its March 2014 issue 5.

  • Iguana Boat

    The Iguana Boat 24' amphibian boat can be sailed at speeds of up to 35 knots thanks to its 250 HP outboard motor, but also on land with its extendable tracks.

  • Rolling Base

    CAR&D has just developed an electric rolling base that can be used as a technological building block for various applications:

    commercial vehicle with electric or hydraulic servo-control, vehicle with purely electronic joystick control, robotized and autonomous vehicles.

  • TriOde

    Véléance announces the start of series production of the Tri'Ode, a 3-wheel electric urban delivery motorcycle, in Usine Nouvelle.

  • Stanley Robotics

    CAR&D is proud to have helped the excellent start-up Stanley Robotics develop its parking valet in service at CdG airport terminal 2 E and F.

  • Oceanwings

    CAR&D is proud to welcome Marc Vanpeteghem's renowned naval architecture firm VPLP among its customers, who have entrusted it with work on the robotization of its patented "OceanWings" wing mast, implemented on a 6-meter trimaran proof-of-concept (2017).
