My work is mainly dedicated to control of embedded (linear and nonlinear) cyber-physical and robotic systems with limited resources, with a great interest on reducing their resource usage. More particularly, I am investigating non-periodic sampling using event-driven techniques.

Feel free to contact me for any questions, comments or requests concerning my articles or anything else.

  • Ongoing projects:
    • eSWARM: exploratory project on design and control of a modular, reconfigurable system of UAVs (funded by ICube, 2023-2025).
    • muteSWARM: joint project on swarm formation control based on acoustic localization, with ICube, GIPSA-lab and ISM (funded by the French national research agency, 2023-2027).
    • STRAD: joint project on street art drone, with ICube, GIPSA-lab, Polyvionics and Spacejunk (funded by the French national research agency, 2022-2026).
    • TIR4sTREEt: joint project on thermal infrared for street trees, with ICube, INRAE and Strasbourg eurometropole (funded by the French national research agency, 2022-2026). This is a great opportunity for our dextAIR robot in a urban micro-climatology context.
    • (see our informative article about the project in The conversation, in French)
    • dark-NAV: joint project on navigation in GPS-denied dark environment using aperiodic flash-based photolocation, with GIPSA-lab, ICube and ISM (funded by the French national research agency, 2021-2025).
    • dextAIR robot: a novel omnidirectional aerial manipulator with elastic suspension (see video), designed and developed at ICube since 2019.
    • TOBACCO: joint French-Mexican project on event-based cooperative control for micro UAVs carrying a load suspended by cables, with GIPSA-lab, BUAP and ICube (funded by the joint SEP-CONACYT-ANUIES-ECOS Nord program, 2019-2024).
  • PhD students awards:
    • T. Paul awarded the “i-PhD Innovation Contest” for his OptHySource project (see the prize list), carried by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research in partnership with Bpifrance, 2022.
    • A. Yiğit received the second place (ex aequo) for the “Best PhD Award” in robotics in France, GdR Robotique, 2021.
    • A. Yiğit received the “Best Video Award” (video), French national Young Robotics Researchers Day (JJCR’20), 2020.
