the size <strong>of</strong> the group is over 70 persons. The main research themes are : Perception System, Artificial<br />
Vision and Robotic System Control.<br />
Since my habilitation in 1999 and until 2006, I led the Robotic System Control team inside the<br />
research group GRAVIR. In 2006, we were 5 permanent people (one pr<strong>of</strong>essor P. Martinet, four<br />
assistant pr<strong>of</strong>essors L. Adouane, N. Andreff, Y. Mezouar, B. Thuilot), 8 Ph.d students (P. Avanzini,<br />
G. Blanc, N. Bouton, C. Cariou, J. Courbon, T. Dallej, R. Dahmouche, F. Paccot, T. Virin) and 1<br />
post-doc (O. Tahri). The main research topics were :<br />
• VISIR : Visual servoing <strong>of</strong> robot (Omnidirectional visual servoing, Topological navigation<br />
through sensory memory, Multi-sensor-based control)<br />
• AGV : Automatic Guided Vehicles (Control design under uncertain dynamics, Multi-robot<br />
system control)<br />
• MICMAC : Modeling, Identification and Control <strong>of</strong> Complex Machines (Vision-Based Identification<br />
<strong>of</strong> Parallel Robots, Vision-Based Control <strong>of</strong> Parallel Robots, Control <strong>of</strong> High Dynamics<br />
System)<br />
I was the scientific leader <strong>of</strong> the MICMAC activity.<br />
During the year 2006-2007, I was visiting Pr<strong>of</strong>essor in Sungkyunkwan University, in Suwon,<br />
South Korea. I was teaching at the MASTER level, and mainly making research in the Intelligent<br />
Robotic Research Center in the field <strong>of</strong> Robotic and Vision.<br />
With my team ROSACE (replacing the Robotic System Control team in 2006), we were and we<br />
are engaged in a set <strong>of</strong> local, national and international projects (2006-2011).<br />
• At the local level, we were working in common in a CNRS Research Federation gathering 3<br />
laboratories (LAMI, LIMOS and LASMEA) from the Blaise Pascal University and one research<br />
team from Cemagref (Agricultural and environmental engineering Research Institute). We are<br />
engaged in two main projects : V2I Innovating Infrastructure and Vehicle and M2I Innovating<br />
Mecanism and Machine. One important local organization allows us to fund equipment and<br />
grants (phd,postdoc). In october 2008, we have created a Mixte Unit <strong>of</strong> Technology in the field<br />
<strong>of</strong> ”Robotization in the meat industry ”. This MUT is recognized by the french ministry for 5<br />
years. Members are : ADIV, LASMEA, LAMI and LIMOS. I was the co-leaser <strong>of</strong> this MUT.<br />
• At the national level, we were involved in 5 ROBEA-CNRS projects (MAX and MP2 (Complex<br />
and parallel machines), OMNIBOT (Autonomousnavigation with omnidirectional vision<br />
sensors), R2M(Allterrainroverwithhighmobilitycapabilities)andBODEGA(Autonomous<br />
Urban vehicles)), in the MOBIVIP (Autonomous Urban vehicles) project founded by the<br />
PREDIT research program (dealing with experimentation and innovation in land transport),<br />
in WACIF (Autonomous navigation in home environment) project founded by the National<br />
Network in S<strong>of</strong>tware Technologies. We were engaged in diffrent ANR projects: PSIROB<br />
- FAST (Fast Autonomous rover SysTem), PREDIT TSFA : CITYVIP (Déplacement<br />
sûr de véhicules individuels adaptés à l’environnement urbain), Jeunes Chercheurs VI-<br />
RAGO, CONTINT : R-DISCOVER (Mobile Robot networks: Decentralized omnivisionbased<br />
space coverage. Cooperative perception, localization and navigation), ARPEGE :<br />
PROTEUS(RoboticPlatformt<strong>of</strong>acilitatetransferbetweenIndustriesandacademics),andwe<br />
are currently involved in ARPEGE : COGIRO (Commande des robots géants), ARPEGE<br />
: ARMS (Système multibras pour la séparation de muscles (I am the coordinator <strong>of</strong> the<br />
project)). Wewerealsoinvolvedin3FUIprojects: SRDVIAND(Développementdesystèmes<br />
