The motion planning problem has been broadly studied in the case of articulated rigid body systems but so far few work have considered deformable bodies. In particular, elastic rods such as electric cables, hydraulic or pneumatic hoses, appear in many industrial contexts. Due to complex models and high number of degrees of freedom, the extension of motion planning methods to such bodies is a difficult problem. By taking advantage of the properties of static equilibrium configurations, this thesis presents several approaches to the motion planning problem for elastic rods. See more

Seminar topic: Many different things we do as computer scientists involve doing things that will be viewed and interpreted by people. In this talk, I will discuss how we have been applying ideas from perceptual science to two very different areas: data visualization and human/agent interaction. I will describe how we have been developing an understanding of the visual system's abilities to see aggregate properties (like average value) and applying this knowledge to design new information presentations. I will also describe methods for applying machine learning technologies to simplify data so that it is easier to comprehend. I will describe how the knowledge and techniques of perceptual science is influencing our work in character animation. Specifically, I will describe our efforts to understand how subtle aspects of movement can be controlled to create communicative effects. I will show examples about how virtual agents move their eyes, and discuss our work to apply these same ideas to robots. I will also introduce a new effort to consider robot arm motion.

Attach:13hdr-mansard.jpg Δ Semiotics of motion
The work presented in this thesis is aiming at establishing the bases of a semiotics of motion, in order to facilitate the programming of complex robotics systems. The objective is to build a symbolic model of the action, based on the analysis of the numerical functions that drive the motion (control and planning). The methodology comes from the well-known robotics concepts: motion-planning algorithms, control of redundant systems and task-function approach. The originality of the work is to consider the task as the unifying concept both to describe the motion and to control its execution.

Title: New compliant actuators for the next generation of human-friendly robots with enhanced capabilities
Title: Manipulation et locomotion en robotique humanoïde avec optimisation temps réel des pas Reviewers: Philippe Fraisse (LIRMM, Montpellier) and Pierre-Yves Oudeyer (Flowers, Bordeaux)
Keywords: HRP2, locomotion and manipulation fusion, reactivity
Olivier Roussel and Andreas Orthey have started their PhD, respectively with Michel Taïx on deformable object path planning and with Olivier Stasse on deep learning.
This thesis title is "Numerical Optimization for robotics and closed-loop trajectory execution".
The presented work is divided into two parts. In the first one, an unified computer representation for numerical optimization problems is proposed. This model allows to define problems independently from the algorithm used to solve it. This unified model is particularly interesting in robotics where exact solutions are difficult to find. The second part is dealing with complex trajectory execution on humanoid robots with sensor feedback. When a biped robots walks, contact points often slip producing a drift which is necessary to compensate. We propose here a closed-loop control scheme allowing the use of sensor feedback to cancel execution errors. To finish, a method for the the development of complex robotics application is detailed. This thesis contributions have been implemented on the HRP-2 humanoid robot.
The new Gepetto web site is now open. All the sections are not fill up yet, but new data will keep coming. To be added soon: the pdf of the team bibliography, and the video database of the robot.
In the frame of the Collège de France 2011/2012 Technological Innovation Lilliane Bettencourt Chair 'ROBOTICS THE FOUNDATIONS OF A DISCIPLINE', the robot HRP-2 will be presented in Paris. The lecture will last one hour. The robot will execute seven demonstrations. The video of the lecture will be available online shortly after the lecture.
The group has been founded by the ANR for the call "Numerical Models", to study the motion of deformable objects, like cables. The project will be realized in collaboration with the CEA/LIST of Fontenay-Aux-Roses, and the company KineoCam from Toulouse.
Oscar Ramos Ponce has started is PhD in the Gepetto group. He did is master with us, supervised by L. Saab, obtaining very nice results on the animation of the robot dynamics, and them was the leading developper on the Novela event. His topic is about applying the results obtained in simulation or replayed in open loop by the robot, on a real rigorous close-loop manner.
On saturday evening, the robot will be demonstrated in a modern dance event. The choregraphy has been designed by the artis Tayeb Benamara, that will danse with the robot during 20 minutes, on the rythmics of the DJ EnjeB. The presentation is at 7PM at the Salle du Cap, on the Campus Rangueil, Toulouse.
Jean-Paul Laumond holds the Technological Innovation Liliane Bettencourt Chair for the year 2011/2012 at the Collège de France.
The title of the lectures is ROBOTICS THE FOUNDATIONS OF A DISCIPLINE. The lectures will be announced on the web site of the chair. They are free and open to all publics. The videos of the lectures will then be available on the same web site.
Next year, Jean-Paul Laumond, who is at the origin of the Gepetto team and was leading it from its creation, is chairman at the Collège de France. The lead of the Gepetto group is now hold by Philippe Souères.
