Abstract
The Automatic control, computer Vision and Robotics team of ICube laboratory gathers more than 60 people, including researchers in robotics, mechanical engineering, automatic control, computer science and computer vision, imaging physics and medicine. During the last 15 years, the team has developed a multi-disciplinary research with a common motivation to invent novel solutions improving medical interventions and diagnoses. One of the main medical applications is interventional imaging, a specialty in which radiologists perform very minimally invasive interventions with needle shaped tools. The talk will introduce this medical practice, its challenges, and some of the results obtained throughout the years.
Short Bio
Prof. Bernard Bayle is a former student of École Normale Supérieure de Cachan, France, where he obtained the agrégation in electrical engineering in 1995. He received the PhD degree in control theory and robotics with the highest honors, from the University of Toulouse (LAAS-CNRS), France in 2001. He became an Assistant Professor, and then a Full Professor, at Télécom Physique Strasbourg (University of Strasbourg) in 2002 and 2011 respectively. There, he created in 2011 an innovative graduate curriculum in biomedical engineering, focused on information technology applied to healthcare. Prof. Bayle heads the Automatic control, computer Vision and Robotics (AVR) research group of ICube laboratory. Prof. Bayle’s research interests include mechatronic design, modeling and control of robotic systems, with a special focus on medical robotics and force feedback technology. He is the author of about 100 scientific publications, including top ranked peer-reviewed international journals in robotics, mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering. He is also the inventor of 4 patents. In 2011, he co-founded Axilum Robotics, a company that markets robotic assistance solutions to transcranial magnetic stimulation.
