Modeling, Design and Control of Miniaturized Soft Robots – MiniSoRo
Ground-breaking technologies based on micro/nano-components (nanowires, nanotubes, etc.) needed in several domains (medical, information, security, etc.) are not industrially produced because of the lack of appropriate manipulation and assembly systems. Indeed, the current manipulation systems do not have the required functionalities (dexterity, etc.), characteristics (compactness, etc.) and performances (precision, speed, etc.) to achieve the required manipulation and assembly tasks.
Stabilization process in marine surface robotics inspired by swimming snakes – SSSNAEQ
A new generation of robots inspired by the swimming of aquatic snakes has recently emerged in academic contexts. Thanks to their exceptional manoeuvrability, they could intervene urgently in complex situations. However, despite this potential, their surface stability is too precarious. The SSSNAEQ project aims to remove the scientific barriers to surface instability by taking inspiration from snakes,
Safe, Adaptive, and Provable Protocols for Oblivious Robots Operation – SAPPORO
Networks of mobile sensors are able to execute collectively various complex tasks. A characteristic feature is the extreme dynamism of their structure, content, load, and even execution environment. Obtaining certified guarantees on they behaviour is a crucial issue, as informal reasoning in that context possibly leads to disastrous errors when arguments are not perfectly clear.

Towards exoskeleton-human symbiosis: investigating how humans interact with an upper-limb robotic exoskeleton – EXOMAN
The use of robotic exoskeletons is promising in the fields of health and work ergonomics, but the lack of understanding of human motor control in interaction with this type of device remains a factor limiting their effectiveness.
Multi-Modal Multi-person Low-Level Learning for Robot Interaction – ML3RI
Multi-person robot interaction in the wild (i.e. unconstrained and using only the robot's resources) is nowadays unachievable because of the lack of suitable machine perception and decision-taking models. Indeed, current robotic skills are derived from machine learning techniques working in constrained environments.
