Research interests and activities

I am working in the team DEXTER on the analysis, design, control, and applications of cable-driven parallel robots. In collaboration with academic and industrial partners, most of the results of these researches are validated on cable-driven parallel robot demonstrators or applications. A complete list of my publications is available below on this web page.

I defended my « Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches » (HDR) in November 2016: link to the manuscript

Main research projects

I am currently involved in the H2020 European projects MAELSTROM (2021 – 2024): Smart technology for MArinE Litter SusTainable RemOval and Management, and DynaMITE, Dynamic applications of large volume metrology in industry of tomorrow environments.

I was involved in a H2020 European project: HEPHAESTUS (2017 – 2020): Highly automated physical achievements and performances using cable robot unique systems.

I coordinated the ANR project DexterWide (2015 – 2019): Cable-driven parallel robots with on-board active devices.

I was involved in the projet CAROCA (2014 – 2016) of IRT Jules Verne: « Evaluation des CApacités de la RObotique à CAbles dans un contexte industriel ».

I was also involved in the FP7 European project CableBOT from 2011 to 2014 (Euronews video). I led CableBOT WP1, « Definition of the architecture of cable robots for their application in industrial environments. »

I coordinated the ANR project CoGiRo, which dealt with large-dimension parallel cable-driven robots (2009 – 2013). One of the largest cable-driven parallel robot worldwide,  CoGiRo, was designed and built in this project (a demonstration video).
