Arnaud Tanguy

Arnaud Tanguy has studied computer engineering at the Polytech’Nice-Sophia engineering school, specializing in computer vision. During his studies, he spent an ERASMUS year at Trinity College Dublin, where he specialized in technologies linked to video game development (physical simulation, graphics rendering), followed by a research internship at Technische Univesit¨at M¨unchen, where he worked on a neural network artificial intelligence system for location recognition in a 3D map (e.g. where’s the robot?). He then went on to write a thesis combining real-time mapping and localization (SLAM) technologies with the control of humanoid robots, in order to give them greater autonomy in their interaction with their environment. He then pursued his career as a research engineer in the Joint Robotics Laboratory at the Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (AIST, Tsukuba, Japan) and in the Interactive Digital Human (IDH) team at the Laboratoire d’Informatique et de Micro´electronique de l’Universit´e de Montpellier (LIRMM), where he currently works.
