Bio sketch
I am a senior CNRS researcher at LAAS, Toulouse in the Gepetto group. My main research is motion generation for humanoid robots based on sensor feedback.
In 2000, I received a Ph.D. in Intelligent Systems from the University of Paris 6 (now Sorbonne University) under the supervision of P. Coiffet, and the French Habilitation to Supervise Research (HDR) in Robotics (2013) from the University of Toulouse III. From 2000 to 2003, I was assistant professor at the Univ. of Paris XIII. From 2003 to 2011, I was one of the funding members of the Joint French-Japanese Robotics Laboratory (JRL) between the CNRS and the AIST in Tsukuba, Japan and created by P. Coiffet and K.Tanie. In 2011 I joined the Gepetto team at LAAS, Toulouse.
