5 années d'expériences à diriger des équipes de robotique autonome  (logistics et drone). Plus récemment  j'ai également créé des équipes de déploiement (field engineers) et de supervision ainsi que les processus pour permettre aux différents départements (R&D, déploiement, maintenance et supervision) de se synchroniser et tavailler de façon efficace.

A l'aise tant au niveau technique qu'au niveau de gestion d'équipes d'une vingtaine de personnes.

I am actively involved in different missions to meet the objectives of iFollow, i.e. equip customers with hundreds of AMRs which run smoothly and significantly improve the performances of warehouses (picking and pallets transportation). My missions are:

Hire and lead the robotics stack engineers team:

In charge of the AMR autonomy (perception, navigation, mission execution) and fleet management ;

• Proactively lead agile team collaboration and communications to ensure everyone understands project goals and the importance of their individual roles;
• Guide all technical aspects of development, including technical requirements definition, design; implementation, unit testing, and integration;
• Act as a sounding board and technical architect for the team, help define technical vision, strategy and roadmap;

Hire and lead the Field robotics team:

Mission is to deploy a project on customer site;

Definition of different documents (FAT, SAT…) required to validate the different steps of a deployment;

A training process has been implemented for new comers;

 

Hire and lead the monitoring team:

Supervise the AMR fleets deployed on different customer sites;

AMR fleet operation is optimal with respect to customer requirement;

Level 1 intervention according to customer support contracts;

To do so a training process has been developed to speed up the ability of a monitoring agent and a troubleshooting guide, which is regularly updated has been implemented to help monitoring agent to diagnose any issue that may occur on an AMR.

 

Manage multi million-Euros projects involving dozens of AMRs: project specifications, planning and implementation.

Je suis titulaire d'un Doctorat en Robotique et Intelligence Artificielle (1989)

J'ai eu la chance de réaliser ce doctorat dans le laboratoire du LAAS-CNRS, le plus en pointe dans le domaine de la robotique mobile autonome à cette période. 

J'ai pu développer des algorithmes de planification et d'exécution de plans d'actions pour & robot mais également pour coordonner plusieurs robots. 

Durant ma thèse j'ai pu publier 4 articles dans des conférences prestigieuses (ICRA, IROS) et 5 autres ainsi que deux articles (IJRR, TRA) durant mes années de post-doc à Carnigie Mellon University (CMU)
