Short Bio
I graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Physique de Strasbourg (with major in automatic and computer vision), in 2005. I obtained my Master Degree in photonics, image and cybernetics the same year. I did my final internship at the Intelligent System Laboratory of SIEMENS, in Munich, on the development of an active vision system for object recognition in service robotics. In 2009, I defended my thesis on an object capture tool for assistive robotics, under the supervision of Eric Marchand, Professor at the University of Rennes 1 and in collaboration with the CEA LIST teams. I was then a post-doctoral fellow in the CNRS Joint Robotic Laboratory team at AIST, Tsukuba Japan (Japan Society for Promotion of Science). My research focused on the visual servoing of a humanoid robot’s walk.
Research
Since 2010, I have been a lecturer at the University of Toulon. Between 2010 and 2014, I worked on the transverse project INRIA Personnaly Assisted Living (PAL) in association with the HANDIBIO biomechanical laboratory and the HEPHAISTOS team at INRIA in Sophia Antipolis. The objective was to develop a walking analysis tool integrated into a walker.
In January 2015, I joined the COSMER laboratory where my research focuses on sensor-based control for underwater robotics.
My research theme is sensor referenced control for robotics.
The development of robotic autonomy in a real environment requires systems to be equipped with means of perception and analysis to enable them to dynamically correct errors in their internal modelling and react adequately and dynamically to changes in their external environment.
