  Villaz Saint Pierre Co-founded a startup to bring agile robots on the market of safety and security monitoring. Brought the product from TRL2 to TRL8 and entered the market in 2022 (1 unit sold/month). Created and manged a team of up to 12 developers and contributed directly to development by : - designing and building 3 generations of robots for different needs (firefighting & security) - developing, integrating and maintaining software for kinematic control, and motor drivers (C/C++) - developing and… Show more Co-founded a startup to bring agile robots on the market of safety and security monitoring.

  Towards Self-Assembled Structures with Mobile Climbing Robots In order to quickly adapt to unexpected obstacles and situations, social insects like ants have evolved to self-assemble and build structures with their own bodies (bridges, chains, towers). In this project, I have designed, optimized, built and programmed a team of bio-inspired robots that are capable of assembling into a given structure in a fully autonomous way. Each robot uses its own body as a building block, and… Show more Towards Self-Assembled Structures with Mobile Climbing Robots In order to quickly adapt to unexpected obstacles and situations, social insects like ants have evolved to self-assemble and build structures with their own bodies (bridges, chains, towers). In this project, I have designed, optimized, built and programmed a team of bio-inspired robots that are capable of assembling into a given structure in a fully autonomous way. Each robot uses its own body as a building block, and climbs on identical fellows to form an ad-hoc structure. In highly unexplored and unpredictable environments, this would allow for enhanced exploration capabilities. The results were publish at ICRA 2015. Show less
