Eric Rohmer is an Associate Professor I (RDIDP, MS 5.1) at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (FEEC) at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), where he has been working since 2016. He holds degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Automation and Production from the University Henri Poincaré, France, a Masters degree in Computer Integrated Manufacturing from the École Supérieure d'Informatique et Applications de Lorraine (ESIAL), and a PhD in Computer Science from the Advanced Robotics Laboratory at Tohoku University, Japan, earned in 2005 with a scholarship from the Japanese Ministry of Education.During his career in Japan, he conducted advanced research in space and rescue robotics, receiving a postdoctoral fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). He was one of the developers of the Quince robot, the first Japanese robot to enter and successfully complete missions in the Fukushima nuclear power plant following the 2011 disaster.Since 2011, he has been working in Brazil, initially under a FAPESP postdoctoral fellowship on the DESTINE project focused on assistive robotics for neurology, and contributing to the establishment of the Brain Research and Neurotechnology Center (BRAINN). He leads the Advanced Robotics Laboratory (AdRoLab) at UNICAMP, developing research in assistive robotics, planetary exploration, rescue robotics, mobility on rough terrain, reconfigurable mobile robots, brain-computer interface (BCI) control, multi-agent systems for intelligent environments, and advanced robotics simulation.Eric Rohmer is also one of the original developers of the robotic simulator V-REP, now known as CoppeliaSim, widely used in robotics research and education. In recognition of his scientific contributions, he received the AI 2000 award in 2022, which ranks him among the 15 most influential robotics researchers worldwide. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The SMARTNESS Engineering Research Center (ERC) targets developing cutting-edge advances in communication networks and digital application services scoped in strategic areas where significant scientific and technological impacts can be achieved towards 2030, in collaboration with the cloud and networking research communities. As 5G releases roll-out and the vision on 6G is being developed…
Automation in industrial settings often relies on structured or semi-structured environments. From robotized industrial pipelines to traffic aware car navigation, structure is employed in some way to provide automated services. However, natural and agricultural environments lack structured data, constraining automation in field to limited vehicle auto-guidance. The acquisition of the envi…
How can one incorporate knowledge and develop new abilities by interacting with the world? Different approaches to answer this question have been proposed by philosophers, psychologists and artificial intelligence researchers in the last decades. Despite all these propositions, the capabilities of machines to perform these high level actions are still far from humans in many aspects. In …
Metasurfaces are two-dimensional artificial optical surfaces with a remarkable ability to manipulate light-matter interactions at scales smaller than the subwavelength level. In particular, their precise and flexible control over light fields offers a promising approach for the development of highly integrated optical devices capable of performing multiple complex functions. In this thesi…
This research proposes a Multi-Agent Dynamic 3D Open-Vocabulary SLAM framework thatleverages advanced vision-language models (VLMs) and large language models (LLMs) toenhance robotic scene understanding and task planning in dynamic, unstructuredenvironments. By integrating 2D open-vocabulary segmentation with depth and multi-sensordata, the system builds a hierarchical 3D scene graph for …
With recent technological advances in computing and robotics, as well as new discoveries in the area of neuroscience, we are now more capable than ever before to attempt at simulating human life in a robotic environment. But it is very important to remember that the construction and design of a humanoid robot is not limited to the mechanical or to the sensors the robot possesses. One of t…
In order to perform real world experiments with the proposed cognitive architecture, this Scientific Initiation aim at building a humanoid robot typically with 25/27 degrees of freedom (DOF). Previous models of humanoid robots built by the team will be used as reference. However, in order to comply with the requirements of multimodal sensing and interactive behavior, the platform must be …
The objective of this scientific initiation is the development of an experimental simulation platform that will support the project "Bootstrap Conditions for Interaction-Based Multimodal Learning in Cognitive Robots". In this project, the humanoid robot Marta will be observing and interacting with objects of the world around her, and will feel, learn and grow just like a baby does until t…
