Vincent Frémont received the M.S. degree in automatic control and computer science from the Ecole Centrale de Nantes, France, in 2000 and the Ph.D. degree in automatic control and computer science from the Ecole Centrale de Nantes, France, in 2003. From 2005 to 2018, he was an Associate Professor at the Université de Technologie de Compiègne (UTC) within the Heudiasyc Lab, UMR CNRS 7253. Since 2018, he is a Full Professor at Ecole Centrale de Nantes within the ARMEN team at the LS2N Lab, UMR CNRS 6004. His research interests belong to perception systems for autonomous mobile robotics with an emphasis on computer vision, machine learning and multi-sensor fusion.
