🏅 Best Presentation Award at the French Young Robotics Researchers Day!

The 2025 French Young Robotics Researchers Day (JJCR) took place on September 29 at IRISA within the Inria Center of the University of Rennes. The aim of this day is to bring together doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers, and young researchers from different fields of robotics to discuss their latest advances and strengthen ties within the community.

This event gave me the opportunity to present my recent work on the Asynchronous Perception and Control on Quadrotors, for which I received the audience award of the best presentation!

I would specially like to thank Maxime Robic and all the JJCR'25 team for the organization of this fantastic day.

Congratulations also to Mehdi Ishac Dechicha for the best presentation award from the jury, Lina Le Guellec for the best poster award, and Mathilde Theunissen for the best MT180s award!

Florian Pouthier

Doctor in Control and Robotics

My research focuses on the efficient navigation of UAVs in constrained environments. I recently joined the LEASARD CominLabs project at LS2N Nantes, in which I investigate SLAM and navigation algorithms with event-based cameras to improve drone autonomy in cluttered environments. This work is supervised by Isabelle Fantoni. My Ph.D. thesis work, led at ICube Strasbourg and GIPSA-lab Grenoble, has been dedicated to the event-driven navigation of a drone in dark environments, as a part of the dark-NAV ANR project. This thesis has been supervised by Nicolas Marchand and Sylvain Durand. Through my research work, I developed research interests in aerial robotics, robust control and set theory. As a graduate of an engineering school (INSA Strasbourg), I have developed a taste for control theory, which I try to deploy as much as possible on real control systems.
