Main Projects

2021-2025 : ANR PRCE Pacbot (Partner)} objective is to design a semi-autonomous cobotic system for operator assistance in industrial settings, capable of selecting, synchronizing and coordinating tasks distributed between human and cobot by adapting to different types of variabilities in professional gestures, while anticipating dangerous situations.

2018-2023 : ANR PRCE Prog4Yu (main investigator)} objective is to develop a “programming by demonstrations” approach to cobots for production operators who are not experts in programming languages but have the expertise on performing production tasks, while ensuring that this approach is acceptable and intelligible to these operators.

2017 - 2021 Project CDP CIRCULAR (partner) aims to develop circular industrial systems capable of transforming end-of-life products into high value-added products.

2015-2018 : ANR SOMBRERO (partner) is a proof-of-concept research project that proposes an original approach to develop socio-communicative behaviors on a large range of multimodal face-to-face interactions: exchange of glances, gesturing between each other, deictic pointing, task-oriented dialogue and decision making. We proposed to train humanoid robots by immersive remote control i.e. “beaming” in everyday-life environments.

2012 - 2016 ANR MoCA (co-investigator) is a fundamental research project that studies artificial companions (virtual characters and personal robots) and their value for users in everyday life situations. Artificial companions are intelligent interactive systems designed to maintain a privileged long-term relationship with the user.

2012 - 2015 ANR Cochise (partner and co-investigator). The question underlying the Cochise project is: how far a dog he will accept to obey to a robot? And what type of robot should be designed for this?.
