Among the commonly used non-destructive techniques, the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is one of the most widely adopted today for assessing pavement conditions in France. However, conventional radar systems and their forward processing methods have shown their limitations for the physical and geometrical characterization of very thin layers such as tack coats. However, the use of Machine Learning methods applied to GPR with an inverse approach showed that it was numerically possible to identify the tack coat characteristics despite masking effects due to low timefrequency resolution noted in the raw B-scans. Thus, we propose in this paper to apply the inverse approach based on Machine Learning, already validated in previous works on numerical data, on two experimental cases with different pavement structures. The first case corresponds to a validation on known pavement structures on the Gustave Eiffel University (Nantes, France) with its pavement fatigue carousel and the second case focuses on a new real road in Vend{\'e}e department (France). In both case studies, the performances of SVM/SVR methods showed the efficiency of supervised learning methods to classify and estimate the emulsion proportioning in the tack coats.

Scientists at the Biorobotics Laboratory (BioRob) in EPFL's School of Engineering are developing innovative robots in order to study locomotion in animals and, ultimately, gain a better understanding of the neuroscience behind the generation of movement. One such robot is AgnathaX, a swimming robot employed in an international study with researchers from EPFL as well as Tohoku University in Japan, Institut Mines-Te le com Atlantique in Nantes, France, and Universite de Sherbrooke in Canada. The study has just been published in Science Robotics. "Our goal with this robot was to examine how the nervous system processes sensory information so as to produce a given kind of movement," says Prof. Auke Ijspeert, the head of BioRob and a member of the Rescue Robotics Grand Challenge at NCCR Robotics. "This mechanism is hard to study in living organisms because the different components of the central and peripheral nervous systems* are highly interconnected within the spinal cord. That makes it hard to understand their dynamics and the influence they have on each other."

Robots and artificial intelligence has long been touted as a replacement for humans carrying out jobs around the world. However, robots are rarely thought of as pole dancers in nightclubs - but that is exactly what is happening in Nantes. Two robot dancers, wearing high heels and topped with a CCTV camera for a head, will debut at the SC-Club in the French city to celebrate its fifth anniversary next week. The bots were the brainchild of British artist Giles Walker, who has overlaid their metal bodies with parts from plastic mannequins. Referring to their CCTV camera heads, he said the robots aimed to "play with the notion of voyeurism", posing the question of "who has the power between the voyeur and the observed person".

We explore the roles that robots are starting to play in construction and look at how they will affect our industry in the future.

A team of researchers, scientists and engineers from France have created a 3D printed house in just a matter of hours. For the first time ever, the four-bedroom house will serve as a permanent home for a family of five. The 1,022-square-foot house, located in the northwestern French city of Nantes, only took about two days - or 54 hours - to complete.

Researchers at the University of Nantes have unveiled what some outlets are incorrectly reporting is the first 3D-printed, robot-built home. The house, which takes about 18 days to build, is made of a combination of polymer and concrete, which the Nantes researchers say will keep the home insulated for decades. The resulting 1000-square-foot, y-shaped structure has five rooms and embedded sensors to monitor air quality and temperature. There have been several other successful 3D-printed home projects going back to at least 2012. More recently, design firm ICON teamed up with nonprofit New Story to unveil a 650-square-foot 3D-printed house concept at this year's SXSW.

In The News This Week is a page intended to keep my readers up to speed with anything new that I pickup online or offline that has to do with the robotic world that we are now entering very rapidly. Other pages of this website reviews a number robots that we are using on a daily basis in order to help make our lives easier, or as hobby, sport, or for professional purposes. If you would like to share your experience with any kind of robots you are using, or simply comment or ask questions, please feel free to do so at the bottom of any page or article. My latest article of "In The News This Week" starts from here. A house of 95 m2 / 1,022 sq ft has already been built thanks to this new technique. On the slab of freshly poured concrete, a robot moves on its wheels and makes work tirelessly with his articulated arm. He draws expansive foam cords one above the other to form a shuttering in which he then pour the concrete. This is how he manages to build perfectly insulated walls on each side at a bewildering speed. "It's been an hour and a half since the work began and the walls are already over 80 cm / 31 in. It is not a prototype, he pointed out, but a place that is meant to be useful. The 95 m2 / 1,022 sq ft house was finished by the end of that week and ready for the coming Christmas once the finishing work was completed. After being opened to the public, this T 5 will then be inhabited, a year later, by "traditional" tenants on the Nantes Métropole Habitat waiting list. "This house, which is already certified, says Benoit Furet, teacher-researcher at the University of Nantes at the heart of this project is called Yhnova.
