Online meetings of our 6 artist residencies 2025-2026 on 12th, 25th and 27th February, organised by the House for potential humanities.

Clément Moreau from AS4 project offers a webinar on Tuesday 3rd March on microscopic locomotion modeling and the role of compression-flexure coupling.

Interdisciplinary seminar with Hiroshi Ishiguro on Thursday 5th March, organised by the project AS3, in order to create space for dialogue around the notion of symbiosis between humans and intelligent technologies.

Hanbang Gao, Christine Chevallereau and Stéfane Caro, both members of the AS1 project, are working to improve safety in collaborative cable-driven parallel robots. Their research has been published in the IEEE T-ASE journal (Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering).

Andrea Cherubini, professor at École Centrale de Nantes and member of Laboratoire des sciences du numérique à Nantes (LS2N – CNRS/École Centrale de Nantes/Nantes University), presents the integrated project “Interactive Mobile Manipulation” (PI2 IMM) under the Organic Robotics research programme (PEPR O2R). It develops the accessibility, autonomy and integration capabilities of robots within the human environment, particularly in the agri-food sector.

Philippe Souères, CNRS research director at LAAS-CNRS, presents structuring research action (AS) 2, ‘Robot motion with physical interactions and social adaptation’, from the Organic Robotics (O2R) research programme. He highlights the collaborative design of the robots developed and their multisensory capabilities.

Material, architecture and embodied intelligence: an interdisciplinary approach of soft robotics…

The 1st speculative exploration workshop launched by the House for potential humanities (MHP) in partnership with ENSCI on the topic “The hard” aimed to explore avenues related, directly or indirectly, to organic robotics and its social, philosophical and cultural implications.
