24-month post-doctoral position on the ANR ePsyCHI project
"Deploying tangible interfaces to optimise renewable energy rates"

Keywords
Human-Computer Interaction; Shape-shifting tangible interfaces; User studies; Renewable energies.

Context
The aim of the ANR ePsyCHI project is to study and operationalise theories of behavioural change through human-machine interfaces. To this end, theories from behavioural psychology will be instantiated through prototypes and observed over several months. The aim of this postdoctoral assignment will be to deploy two types of interface to support a new energy practice with volunteers. The attractiveness of tangible shape-shifting interfaces will thus be compared over time with that of graphical interfaces. The contribution of the addition of behavioural theories will be studied during the second deployment in relation to the first.
This post-doctoral work follows on from the dissertation work of Maxime Daniel (from 2015 to 2018) and the post-doctoral work of Elodie Bouzekri (from 2021 to 2023), both of whom then went on to do an international post-doctorate.

Project status
The five examples of graphical interfaces that will be deployed have already been built. Of the four examples of a new shape-shifting tangible interface that will be deployed, one is already operational: three examples still need to be completed.
The experimental protocol has already been established.
Several study sites have already been approached.
Tasks to be carried out
1) Help complete the manufacture of the units to be deployed;
2) Reconnect with potential study sites;
3) Deploy the prototypes (copies, servers, etc.);
4) Conduct regular interviews and collect data;
5) Analysing the data from the deployments.

Application information
Candidates will have defended a thesis in human-computer interaction, during which prototypes will have been produced and user studies conducted. Manufacturing skills will be appreciated: programming and wiring of Arduino (C++) and Raspberry Pi (Python) boards
Raspberry Pi (Python) boards, and laser cutting. The French language must be sufficiently fluent to conduct interviews in the field.
The assignment will be based in Bidart, in the ESTIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY research laboratory. It will start in autumn 2023 at the earliest.
You will need to send the following with your application
a) A two-page CV or qualification file ;
b) List of publications (with DOI or HaL links);
c) Contact details of one to three people who can give an account of your previous research activities.
The person to contact to apply - who will also be your supervisor - is Guillaume Rivière: g.riviere@estia.fr

Thanks to a production organisation based on automation and a high-performance fleet of machines, GL Groupe is able to produce both small and medium-sized runs, while guaranteeing the quality and productivity of its services. Its broad geographical coverage, with five sites spread across France, means that it is a leader in laser cutting in France.

ESTIA Research

ESTIA-Research is a multi-disciplinary research team with its own research unit under agreement with the University of Bordeaux (UPR RNSR 201420655V). As part of the 'Technological and Human Systems' research area, which is dedicated to proposing models and tools for the study, simulation and transformation of complex systems, ESTIA-Research carries out work on Human-System Integration, in particular through the hybridisation of technological data and human knowledge for decision support. This work is mainly deployed in the field of product design and industrial processes, with the aim of proposing software environments that support human actors in their business activities.

Context

Accurate costing of laser cutting estimates is of vital importance in guaranteeing the profitability of services and customer satisfaction. However, many key factors specific to each project and to the management of the company's resources must be taken into account, such as: - the size and shape of the parts, - the materials used, - the type of customer, - the load and capacity of the production workshop, - opportunities arising from other production sites within the company, - the volatility of raw material prices, - the lead time required, - the stock available, - local competition. The aim of this applied research project is to develop a tool to help estimate quotations for laser cutting services, by integrating human expertise with artificial intelligence techniques. The main objective is to optimise the quotation process by adapting prices to the specific characteristics of each project. A crucial point to emphasise is the need to guarantee that the results obtained can be explained to ensure that the tool is acceptable to future users.

Subject

The subject of this thesis, proposed as part of a CIFRE agreement, is to develop a tool to assist in the costing of quotations based on artificial intelligence by integrating the human expertise of the estimators working within the company. The aim of this integration is to optimise the quotation process by taking into account the specific context of each service.

The main activities of this project are as follows:

1. Analysing and modelling the production, pricing and decision-making processes, focusing in particular on the human expertise of the currency traders working within the company in order to identify case studies that are representative of the activity and to gather specific knowledge and pricing criteria, in order to model the associated decision-making processes.

2. Collect and analyse data from past quotations, taking into account the context, in order to identify the key factors influencing quotation pricing.

3. Formalise the data and knowledge previously identified to build a knowledge model representative of the quote, which will form the core of the proposed decision support system.

4. To develop a model of the quotation activity based on the knowledge and data formalised and exploiting mechanisms derived from artificial intelligence in order to adjust prices according to the specific context of each service.

5. Exploring mechanisms for making the model explicable, to enable currency traders to understand the results obtained, thereby facilitating price negotiation and identifying possible room for negotiation.

6. Validate the model and the associated prototype through a test campaign with end users (currency traders) and improve them by exploiting feedback from testers (and possibly customers), in order to optimise accuracy and usefulness. Ultimately, this project will lead to the implementation of a prototype tool to help with the costing of estimates, based on case studies representative of the company's activity. The use of this tool should improve the costing of estimates, leading to an improvement in the company's operational efficiency and competitiveness.

15 x 3 year - postdoctoral fellowships in the field of Advanced Manufacturing Process offered in the framework of the ADAGIO project. 5 positions opened at the University of Bordeaux / 10 positions opened at the University of the Basque Country.

ADAGIO (Advanced Manufacturing Research Fellowship Program in the Basque - New Aquitaine Region) is an international fellowship program aiming at attracting talented post-doc scientists to develop their 3 year projects in the University of Bordeaux or University of Basque Country laboratories. (more information on the website). The ESTIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOY is looking for motivated candidates to apply for a 36 months postdoctoral fellowship under the framework of the ADAGIO program (MSCA COFUND) (link to application).

The applicants must comply with the MSCA mobility rule: not have resided or carried out their main activity in France for more than 12 months in the previous 3 years.

The postdoctoral researcher will be involved in the research team DREAM Chair - Develop Responsive Emergent and Additive Manufacturing process. The DREAM Chair aims to help the industrial sector's transition to new manufacturing processes, by addressing the problems of simulation, monitoring and supervision of additive manufacturing (AM) processes with the aim of making them efficient. Indeed, the control of AM processes requires the implementation of a three-pronged approach.

First involves the simulation of AM processes, which makes it possible to determine the process parameters and the construction of the part layer by layer. As AM processes are particularly complex to model due to the thermo-mechanical phenomena involved, it is necessary to propose a calculation methodology that is fast, reliable and precise.

Second concerns the in-situ monitoring of AM operations (DED process). It is necessary to identify the process control parameters that need to be monitored and to propose a supervision strategy. Many works are based on the use of thermal cameras, which are easy to use in a laboratory situation. The monitoring of the manufacture of a large part is more complex, since the realization involves a close interaction between the manufacturing strategy and the monitoring in order to control the thermal cooling of the part both locally and globally and to control the geometry realized in-situ.

Third concerns the use of augmented reality tools to supervise AM operations. These operations are particularly lengthy, and the efficiency is linked to the supervision of the monitored parameters. A recent thesis demonstrated the interest of using sonification and/or vibrotactile tools to ensure such monitoring.

TRAINEESHIP SUBJECT (M2) - Design and manufacture of a tangible shape-shifting interface to improve communication of the status of machines in a technology hall to operators

Context
This placement is part of the BEST interdisciplinary scientific research project, which aims to find solutions for improving design, manufacturing and organisation methods in a wide range of industrial sectors. In this placement, we are looking at technology halls, which are physical spaces dedicated to experimentation, research and development of the technologies of the future: they are meeting places for companies, researchers and students to design, manufacture and test prototypes using machines such as scanners, printers, cutting machines, drilling machines, milling machines and electronic stations.
Issues
Today, we find that crucial information about machines, such as their status, remaining operating time and planned use, is rarely shared with users in the technology hall, which hampers productivity.
productivity. For example, when a user wants to switch from one machine to another, they generally have to interrupt their task and go and ask a site manager for this information.
Approach
To address this problem, this course explores shape-shifting interfaces (see Figure 1), which are interfaces designed with the assumption that, in the near future, physical objects will become as malleable as virtual objects. These new interfaces use physical shape change as input and/or output to the computer system. Unlike graphical interfaces, tangible interfaces have the advantage of physically existing in the environment, which makes them particularly interesting for communicating crucial information about machines in the right place at the right time in a technology hall.


Aim of the course
In this internship, you will help to design and build a tangible shape-shifting interface to communicate crucial information about machines (e.g. status, time remaining, planned uses) to users in a technology hall
remaining, planned uses).
Qualifications required:
- Master's level 2 in Robotics, Mechatronics, IT or Electronics.
- Autonomous and creative, able to take the initiative.
- Experience with projects combining mechanics, electronics and IT.
Preferred skills:
- Have already designed a mechanical part using computer-aided design software (e.g. OnShape, Fusion 360, AutoCAD).
- Have already designed a printed circuit board using computer-aided design software (e.g. Fritzing, EasyEDA, KiCad).
- Have already assembled mechanical parts and electronic components (e.g. a 3D printed object incorporating a microcontroller, a sensor and a motor inside).
- Have already programmed a microcontroller to read sensors and control actuators (e.g. Arduino, ESP, Feather).
