I am Research Director at Agence Ministérielle pour l’Intelligence Artificielle de Défense.

My research focuses on robotics and more particularly on perception and learning problems. I am looking to develop methods to simplify and make more robust the use of robots and to increase their autonomy. I am particularly interested in:

• navigation, mapping, localization, path planning,
• learning applied to multi-modal perception and reinforcement learning,
• applications to mobile robots, UAVs and autonomous vehicles.
