About

Florian Gosselin est Ingénieur en Robotique de l’École Centrale de Nantes et docteur en Génie Mécanique de l’Université de Poitiers. Il est Ingénieur de Recherche et Chef de Projet au Laboratoire de Robotique Interactive du CEA LIST et Responsable Scientifique du Département Intelligence Ambiante et Systèmes Interactifs. Ses recherches portent sur le développement de nouvelles interfaces à retour d’effort et de robots collaboratifs hautes performances. Il a contribué à de nombreux projets de recherche mettant en oeuvre ces dispositifs dans des contextes variés tels que la téléchirurgie (ANR EndoXyrob), la Réalité Virtuelle (ANR Perf-RV, ANR IHS10), les arts virtuels (ANR PHASE), l’édutainment (EU MUVII), la rééducation (Kinéhaptique), la cobotique (PSPC MammoNExT) ou la formation au geste (EU SKILLS, ANR MANDARIN). Ces travaux ont permis la conception d’une quinzaine de prototypes et ont conduit au dépôt de plus de 20 brevets, dont certains exploités par la société Haption. Ils ont également conduit à la publication d’une soixantaine d’articles dans des revues et conférences internationales du domaine. Expert en robotique interactive, Florian Gosselin est l’un des représentants du CEA LIST auprès de l’Université Paris Saclay et de l’alliance Allistene auprès de l’ANR. Il a été coordinateur du projet MANDARIN qui a obtenu en 2016 le Prix de l’Impact Economique de l’ANR.

Experience

• Scientific Officer at CEA LIST, Department of Ambiant Intelligence and Interactive Systems
  Mar 2015 - Present · 11 yrs 4 mos

  I am in charge of the internal scientific animation of the Department of Ambiant Intelligence and Interactive Systems (DIASI). I am also representative of the DIASI to various groups (Cluster 1 on Automation, Signal Processing, Image Processing and Robotics of the University Paris Saclay STIC Doctoral School, working group on Interaction and Robotics of the STIC Doctoral School, working group on Interactive Robotics of the Labex Digicosme, CEA LIST Internal Scientific Committee).

• Research Engineer / Project Manager at CEA LIST, Interactive Robotics Laboratory
  Oct 2000 - Present · 25 yrs 9 mos

  I joined CEA-LIST in 2000 as Project Manager and Research Engineer (2000-2006: Robotic Architectures and Prototypes Lab, 2006-2010: Sensory Interfaces Lab, 2010-Present: Interactive Robotics Lab). I acted as chief designer in more than 12 haptic interfaces and hand exoskeletons design studies (fixed and wearable devices, serial and parallel architectures, poly-articulated and tensed cable structures, rigid and compliant joints, non-redundant and redundant actuation, encounter type devices, ...). I also supervised or participated to the development of state of the art multimodal VR platforms with applications in CAD, telesurgery, skills training, cultural heritage, digital arts and entertainment. More recently, I was involved in the development of several collaborative robots. I am inventor or co-inventor of more than 20 patents and the co-author of more than 60 scientific publications in the field. I managed several industrial, National and EU funded projects for CEA-LIST.
