At Singapore’s Create hub, CNRS DesCartes collaborative project aims to support the creation of “Smart Cities” by developing hybrid AI methods capable of enhancing real-time decision-making in urban-critical systems.

On the French side, the programme is being carried out by CNRS@Create, the Singaporean subsidiary of the research organisation, which was created in 2019. With this first subsidiary abroad, the CNRS intends to take its place in the research hub created by the Singapore government in 2006. Launched by the NRF, Create brings together prestigious centres such as MIT, ETH Zurich, the universities of Berkeley, Cambridge, Munich and Jerusalem.

DesCartes is the first concrete project supported by CNRS@Create. Some 80 researchers, equal numbers of Singaporeans and French, will be working on the project.

The overall cost is estimated at 35 million euros over five years. The project programme has been drawn up under the direction of Francisco Chinesta, a teacher-researcher at Ensam and a specialist in hybrid AI.

The project will focus on optimising the operation of electricity networks, developing predictive maintenance for large industrial and civil engineering infrastructures, and improving the traffic flow of future urban drones. Several companies are already involved, including Thales, ESI Group, EDF, Aria Technologies and the Technical Research Centre for Mechanical engineering industries.

A research team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has announced that it has designed a foam-like material that can be described as "intelligent foam". It would allow robots to better perceive physical contact, and therefore, to interact more easily with their environment to detect an object or detect the presence of an individual. For the authors, the AiFoam would be a step further to potentially equip robots with the five senses of human beings.

🇸🇬🤝🇫🇷 La Banque de France (BdF) et l'Autorité monétaire de Singapour (MAS) ont conduit avec succès une expérimentation de paiement et de règlement transfrontières utilisant la monnaie numérique de banque centrale (MNBC). Il s'agit de la première expérimentation m-MNBC mettant en œuvre des fonctions automatisées de tenue de marché et de gestion de liquidité ainsi qu’un mécanisme de blocage de fonds.

🇫🇷🤝🇸🇬 The Monetary Authority Of Singapore (MAS) and Banque de France (BdF) announced on 8 July 2021 the successful completion of a wholesale cross-border payment and settlement experiment using central bank digital currency (CBDC). This is the first m-CBDC experiment that applied automated market making and liquidity management capabilities to reap cross-border payment and settlement efficiencies.

🇸🇬🤝🇫🇷 Quand vous pensez à la France, pensez-vous aux croissants, à la Tour Eiffel, ou peut-être à la ville lumière ?

Ou est-ce que les universités fortes, l'intelligence artificielle, les technologies quantiques viennent à l'esprit ?

En effet, c'était les derniers sujets que nous avions en tête lors de la deuxième réunion de la Comité mixte France-Singapour sur les sciences et l'innovation (COSIMIX en français, ou JCSI en anglais) hier, le 24 juin 2021. Les scientifiques et chercheurs de nos deux pays se sont entretenus virtuellement pour discuter comment nous pouvons consolider notre coopération en matière S&T. Nos universités ont signées des protocoles d'accord avec leurs homologues français, ce qui renforceront nos partenariats dans les domaines tels que l'énergie propre, l'économie circulaire et l'entrepreneuriat.

Nous espérons que lorsque nos amis français penseront à Singapour, ils penseront à un peuple innovant et entreprenant, et à notre engagement dans la coopération internationale pour améliorer la vie.

C'était le ton de la rencontre virtuelle entre notre Vice Premier ministre M. Heng Swee Keat et la ministre française de l'Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche et de l'Innovation, Mme Frédérique vidal, qui ont eu une bonne discussion.

Nous remercions Mme la Ministre pour son soutien solide au JCSI, et nous attendons avec impatience de nouvelles collaborations entre nos deux pays. Un grand merci aussi à French Embassy in Singapore - Ambassade de France à Singapour !

Singapore’s Ministry of Defence announced a new cybersecurity and information centre of ASEAN will be set up in Singapore for better exchange of information among defence ministries of member countries to combat cyber security threats and misinformation.

The establishment of the centre was approved at the 15th ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting (ADMM 15) held virtually on June 15.

The ministry said the centre will fortify the ASEAN Cyber Defence Network in promoting regional exchanges, interaction and cooperation in cybersecurity matters.

The ADMM 15 adopted a declaration that reaffirmed the regional grouping's commitment to tackling prevailing and emerging transboundary security threats in the region.

It also approved Singapore’s proposal to host an ADMM Plus conference on countering chemical, biological and radiological threats in 2022.

Foodpanda has announced a partnership with three robotics startups (Whiz Mobility, Otsaw and Neolix) to test an autonomous food delivery project. Since mid-May, customers in the various test areas have been able to have their orders delivered by a pink droid.

This initiative aims to meet the growing demand for safer deliveries in the wake of the pandemic. The robots provide additional support to the delivery drivers and can access difficult locations or bad weather conditions. This pilot project improves delivery capacity and offers the opportunity to serve more customers more efficiently and economically.

The robots perform their delivery service on the NTU campus in Singapore. Although they are autonomous, a back-end operator still has to monitor them when they receive orders.

Foodpanda collabore avec Whiz Mobility, Otsaw et la société chinoise Neolix dans le but de faire progresser les livraisons autonomes. Découvrez!

Fieldbox.ai, the Bordeaux-based start-up specialising in the optimisation of industrial operations using AI, is an example of international success.

With nearly 100 employees divided between its headquarters in Bordeaux, its Paris offices and its subsidiary in Singapore, Fieldbox.ai - supported by Bpifrance - boasts sustained growth and has been doubling in size almost every year.

Fieldbox.ai opened an office in Singapore in 2018. Initially, this location was set up to expand its offering in the region. “With the increase in our activity in the region, in Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia, our support office in Singapore has become a fully-fledged subsidiary that we want to continue to develop,” says Charles-Emmanuel Frénoy, Fieldbox.ai’s sales director. To do this, the start-up benefited from the support of the public investment bank as part of the Asian Booster programme.

Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have designed a real mini-cyborg using a cockroach equipped with a microcomputer on its back, an infrared camera and controlled by electrodes. It has a much longer autonomy range than a standard robotic device thanks to a battery carried by the insect.

The researchers believe that computer-insect hybrid robots could be ideal for search and rescue missions following disasters such as earthquakes, where rapid discovery of survivors is essential but locations may be inaccessible.

Des chercheurs ont conçu un véritable mini-cyborg en utilisant un cafard. Il pourrait permettre, lors de tremblements de terre par exemple, de sauver des vies en les identifiant rapidement.
