Researcher in bio-inspired swarm robotics. Studying collective visual behaviors in robot swarms — no communication, no GPS, just light.
I'm a lecturer-researcher at ESME Sudria Lyon, where I teach 4th and 5th year mechatronics students as well as exploratory robotics and aeronautics projects for first-years.
My research sits at the intersection of bio-inspired robotics and collective intelligence. Specifically, I study visual collective behaviors in robot swarms that rely only on panoramic visual cues — without any explicit inter-robot communication.
I collaborate with Franck Ruffier and Christophe Eloy at Aix-Marseille Université, where the fundamental question is: how do biological swarms achieve coherent global behavior from purely local, visual perception?
Peer-reviewed work on visual collective behaviors in robot swarms.
Brief summary of the paper's contributions and findings. Describe the main result, the methodology used, and the significance to the field of swarm robotics.
Ongoing projects at the boundary of robotics, optics, and collective intelligence.
Investigating how robot swarms can achieve coherent collective motion using only panoramic visual cues. Each robot perceives its neighbors optically, with no radio, no WiFi, no explicit messages — mimicking how starlings and fish schools produce emergent order from purely visual interaction.
Translating biological visual systems — particularly insect optic flow and bird flock dynamics — into minimal sensor models for robotic platforms.
Designing hands-on robotics curricula using ROS2, Niryo arms, and Sphero platforms to bridge theory and physical systems for engineering students.
