Talk Title
Visual perception and agility of robots: contributions and perspectives for smart manufacturing
ABSTRACT of the TALK
The presentation addresses some contributions in the fields of control and robotics through a multidisciplinary fundamental research to understand and adapt nature's solutions. The research activities presented concern problems of autonomy, visual perception and agility of robots in unknown environments. The proposed solutions are illustrated on concrete cases for smart manufacturing.
