Yesterday, June 24, the IRP SMARTER project officially kicked off at SUPMICROTECH in Besançon, France, in the presence of institutional authorities and researchers from the participating institutions. The project is funded by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS ) and complements the capabilities of FEMTO-ST and AC3E, institutions internationally recognized in the fields of engineering sciences, information processing, and systems theory. "The primary objective of the SMARTER project is to generate new scientific knowledge in the areas of design, modeling, and control of complex multiphysical systems using the port-Hamiltonian formalism," said Yann Le Gorrec , Professor of Automatic Control and Head of the AS2M Department at FEMTO-ST Institute He also stated, "The second objective of the SMARTER project is to develop shared experimental platforms for validating theoretical research through applications in soft robotics, medical robotics, and instrumentation for natural hazard monitoring." This collaboration will undoubtedly have an impact on the way science is conducted, technology transfer, and the scientific and technological development cultures of Chile and France. Dr. Hector Ramirez , Director of AC3E , said, "We are very pleased about this opportunity. We are excited to work under an institutional framework with our French partners, and we are convinced that this project will be very successful." We hope this international project will enable us to build strong scientific ties that foster knowledge exchange among researchers, with the aim of generating more and better projects that have an impact on industry and society.

Se trata de una iniciativa financiada por el Centro Nacional de Investigación Científica de Francia (CNRS) y que complementa las capacidades de FEMTO-ST y AC3E, instituciones reconocidas internacionalmente en los campos de las ciencias de la ingeniería, el procesamiento de la información y la teoría de sistemas. "El objetivo principal del proyecto SMARTER es generar nuevo conocimiento científico en las áreas de diseño, modelamiento y control de sistemas multifísicos complejos utilizando el formalismo port-Hamiltoniano", señaló Yann Le Gorrec, profesor de Control Automático y director del Departamento AS2M de FEMTO-ST. El Director de AC3E, Dr. Héctor Ramírez, destacó que "nosotros estamos súper contentos de esta oportunidad. Estamos muy entusiasmados con trabajar bajo un paraguas institucional con nuestros socios franceses y estamos convencidos de que esto va a ser muy exitoso".
