from 2005 to 2008. He has been coordinator of two the European Esprit projects
PROMotion (Planning RObot Motion, 1992-1995) and MOLOG (Motion for Logistics,
1999 - 2002), both dedicated to robot motion
planning technology. In 2001 and 2002 he created and managed Kineo
CAM, a spin-off company from LAAS-CNRS devoted to develop and market motion
planning technology. Kineo CAM was
awarded the French Research Ministery prize for innovation and enterprise in
2000 and the third IEEE-IFR prize for Innovation and Entrepreneurship in
Robotics and Automation in 2005. His current research is devoted to Human Motion studies along three
perspectives: artificial motion for humanoid robots, virtual motion for
digital actors and mannequins, and natural motions of human beings. He teaches Robotics at
Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. He has
edited three books. He has published more than 150 papers in international
journals and conferences in Robotics, Computer Science, Automatic Control and recently in Neurosciences.
