Research
Robust control of flexible manipulators
- Developed since depuis 2002
- Collaboration with G. Mercère (LIAS, Poitiers), O. Prot (XLim, Limoges). Associated colleagues : I. Bara, L. Cuvillon and J. Gangloff
Issues
- Modelling and identification of LPV (linear parameter-varying) models for serial manipulators with joint and segment flexibility
- Robust control providing guarantee of performance over a working space
- Modelling, identification and control of cable-driven parallel robots
Funds
- Preciput-ANR from ULP (2009)
- CNRS: PEPS IDRAC (2010-2011)
- PhD grant for MESR (H. Halalchi, 2008-2011)

Past projects
- Control of robotic devices (active stabilisators) dedicated to heart-beating surgery (Cardiolock and Girolock, 2005-2012)
- Vision-based control for medical robotics (collaboration with Tohoku University funded by CNRS and JST) [1] (2007-2012)
- Control of web winding systems (2000-2002)
- Identification and control of induction motors
Developed tools
- Model of a 2-segments flexible manipulator made with Maple and DynaFlex
- Simulink models of the position measurement by camera accounting for the dynamical effects (movement of the target over the camera integration time)
