En résumé

Président et fondateur de la startup high-tech Sky Défense S.A.S., une société proposant des solutions de surveillance à partir de drones entièrement autonomes, se spécialisant principalement dans le secteur de la sécurité pour la surveillance de sites privés de grande surface, des chantiers, des complexes industriels et autres sites sensibles requérant un haut niveau de sécurité.

Mes dix dernières années furent consacrées à la recherche en systèmes aérospatiaux et en robotique dans des institutions gouvernementales et académiques telles que la NASA, l’agence spatiale japonaise JAXA, l’Université de Tokyo, et le département recherche et développement pour la défense au Canada.

Spécialisé dans le domaine de la navigation de véhicules aérospatiaux, terrestres, et sous-marins ainsi que dans les plateformes robotiques opérant en conditions extrêmes (Antarctique, Groenland, etc.), mes centres d’intérêts principaux regroupent le traitement d’information vidéo par ordinateur, l’intelligence artificielle, et le contrôle des systèmes autonomes.

President and founder of the high-tech startup Sky Defense S.A.S., a company that proposes autonomous aerial drone based monitoring solutions, specializing into the surveillance of large private properties, construction sites, industrial complex, and other sensitive sites requiring a high level of security.

I have spent the last 10 years conducting research in the field of robotics and aerospace systems for both governmental and academic institutions such as NASA, the Japanese space agency JAXA, the University of Tokyo, and the Defense Research and Development department in Canada.

Specialized in the field of autonomous navigation of aerial, terrestrial and underwater vehicles as well as robotic platforms operating in extreme conditions (Antarctica, Greenland, etc.), my fields of interest include: computer vision, artificial intelligence and autonomous control systems.
