Prof. Eric Rohmer is a French robotic researcher and professor at the Campinas State University UNICAMP (Brazil) since 2011. He co-founded the Brazilian Institute of Neuroscience and Neurotechnology (BRAINN). He is involved in the development of the V-REP robot simulation framework with Coppelia Robotics. He was appointed at the Tohoku University in Japan (2009-2011), as a lead researcher on the development of Quince rescue robot, the first Japanese robot used in the crippled Fukushima reactor. He was a research fellow at the Tohoku University's Space Robotics lab (2005 - 2009), working on rescue and space exploration robotics. He developed there a dynamic engin based telerobotic platform and a novel transformable hybrid wheel-limbs exploration hexapod. He received his Ph.D degree in Information Sciences from the Tohoku University (2005), a Master degrees, a B.Sc and a Polytechnic diploma in engineering in France. He was a mechanical engineer in Luxembourg, until 2001. Dr. Rohmer current research focus includes mobile robotics platforms and human robot interaction. He is especially interested in assistive robotics solutions to provide mobility to people with sever disabilities as well as in the development of novel type of control for low-cost smart prosthesis and orthesis, for emergent countries.

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 …
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…
