General

CNRS researcher (CR1) at LAAS. My research interests include distributed real-time computing and intelligent vision system for humanoid robots. The aim is to provide service humanoid robots into the human world.

Projects

• R-Blink (2009-2011): This project aims at study high-speed decision making to generate whole-body motion for humanoid robots.
• ROBOT@CWE (2006-2009): This project's goal is to integrate complex robots, such as humanoid robots, in collaborative working environments.
