Research and development

 

If you are looking for a partner for R&D projects, MASA can offer you a wide range of expertise related to its products. We take part in national (ANR, Astrid, Rapid,...) and European (H2020, EDIDP, ICET2, ...) projects as leader or partner.

Expertise offered with an intelligence simulation 

​

SWORD et SYNERGY use the same approach based on a configurable simulation with autonomous agents allowing the simulation of entities that interact, evolve, and dynamically adapt their behaviors to the evolution of their environment. Each simulated entity uses its own decision-making process to provide realistic and credible behaviors. These entities can take into account the current situation and its evolution, including changes in the environment, interaction with other entities, their own capabilities and internal states. SWORD has been used in several projects to evolve the situation (CBRN disasters, volcanic eruption, population evacuation) or to simulate external environments or applications (crisis cells, operational tools...) according to given scenarios based on real data.

Simulation can also be a solution to integrate and visualize external data (for example from external numerical simulations), to evaluate and render the impact of an event (natural disaster, terrorist attack...) on the environment and the simulated entities.

Proposed expertise in artificial intelligence

​

MASA's artificial intelligence technology, DirectAI, offers a graphical editor to design decision behaviors through decision trees (behavior trees) and provides an API to integrate with various virtual (simulations) or real (robots) environments.

We can offer DirectAI to design and execute an AI that we can adapt for the benefit of a project and a need in the following areas:

​

• serious games,

• virtual simulations,

• training or analysis platform,

• robotics
