   * January 29 - **Fighting blindness with bionic eyes, Vincent Bismuth, Pixium Vision.** (room Sophie Germain).
+**Abstract:** Restoring vision for the blind has long been considered a science-fiction topic. However, since two decades accelerating efforts in the field of visual prostheses have yielded significant progress and several hundred patients worldwide have received such devices, with various outcomes. This seminar will briefly present the field with a special focus on the image processing side, providing an overview of the main approaches, limitations and results.
+**Bio:** Vincent Bismuth is leading a career in the field of medical devices, centered on expertise in image processing. He spent 10+ years developing image and video processing algorithms for interventional Xray procedures at General Electric Healthcare before moving into a French start-up, Pixium Vision, that design vision restoration systems for the visually impaired. He recently moved to the mammography division of General Electric where he is leading image processing developments.

 **Abstract:** The history of ethics and computing dates back at least to N Wiener’s God, Golem, Inc. From “Moral Machines”, “Machine Ethics”, to the current debates concerning various forms of “embedded ethics” and the impact of AI and data massification, it is perhaps pertinent to revisit the issue by examining the epistemological relations between computability and ethics in order to postulate a shared set of properties that support their claims to a form of “universality”.

+  * March 5 - **Augmenting bodies using AI : from human know-how to Computer Aided Design - François Faure, Anatoscope.** (room Sophie Germain).
+**Abstract:** From walking sticks to bionic arms, people have always augmented their bodies with supplementary or replacement parts to improve their function, comfort or aesthetics.  For optimal efficiency,  these must be personalized to precisely fit the body, and their design requires significant knowledge and skills on anatomy and mechanics.
+The Orthotics and Prosthetics (O&P) domain has developed a large body of know-how to replicate body parts using plaster, design and sculpt shapes, and mold corresponding devices. This is applied to various body parts such as teeth, limbs, ears.
+Unfortunately, these techniques are empirical and operator-dependent. To improve precision, O&P increasingly uses digital imaging and design software. However, most of the current software essentially consist of digital sculpting toolboxes, therefore the design process remains virtually as empirical and operator-dependent as before.
+In this talk, we present Anatoscope’s approach to tackle the challenge of precision in O&P.
+To really improve on Computer Assisted Design for O&P, we need to map the skills of good practitioners to numerical methods implemented in computers. Knowledge can be  formulated using models and algorithmes, while some skills are easily expressed as rules, and others are more easily described using examples.  Our artificial intelligence combines these paradigms through constrained optimizations solved using various strategies. We illustrate these using various examples of dental and orthopedic design.
+**Bio:** François Faure, 49,  graduated in Mechanical Engineering at ENS Cachan in 1993, and became a full university professor in Computer Science in Grenoble, 2011. His research contributions range from the simulation of rigid and deformable solids, collision detection, to the computation of personalized models for medical simulation. He founded Anatoscope with four colleagues in 2015, and he has been fully focused on its development since then. In three years the company has signed strategic partnerships in the dental and orthopedic domains, and grown to 40 employees.
