En raison de son développement lors des dernières années, la robotique est devenue une aide adéquate au sein de nombreux domaines comme l’industrie, la science, l’armée, mais encore la santé et l’éducation. Le laboratoire Enslab, concentrant sa recherche sur l’enseignement au niveau tertiaire, vise à analyser et développer de nouveaux moyens modernes pouvant impacter...

Industrial robots are commonly used to perform interaction tasks (such as assemblies or polishing), requiring the robot to be in contact with the surrounding environment. Such environments are (partially) unknown to the robot controller. Therefore, there is the need to implement interaction controllers capable of suitably reacting to the established contacts. Although standard force controllers...

This thesis, ApprentIA, is an experimental thesis. The goal was to get a hang of the humanoid robot called NAO, to test the limits of coding implementations, and try to create an interaction between NAO and a student at the university level where the robot could help the student in his studies. The first part of this document is dedicated to humanoid robots to position NAO in the world of...

The adoption of labor-replacing technologies has already displaced thousands of workers in the US. In this paper, I analyze how the adverse effects of the implementation of robots in firms’ production processes are spreading among the population and how they are shaping the composition of labor markets. Exploiting exogenous variation in robot exposure across local labor markets and over time,...

Expanding the debate about empathy with human beings, animals, or fictional characters to include human-robot relationships, this paper proposes two different perspectives from which to assess the scope and limits of empathy with robots: the first is epistemological, while the second is normative. The epistemological approach helps us to clarify whether we can empathize with artificial...

This paper analyzes the impact of one of the leading automation technologies of the last decades, industrial robots, on the declining labor force participation in the US. Exploiting exogenous variation in the adoption of robots across local labor markets and over time, I find that, on average, one additional robot drives two workers out of the labor force. Despite the adverse impact of robots,...

Experts in new technologies and economists seem to agree: robotics and deep learning by machines will change most of the economic activities in the coming decades, at a very fast pace. If in the past, technological changes mainly brought about gradual increases of efficiency in human work; robotics and the availability of big data, used with Artificial Intelligence (AI) will bring about...

Human-robot interaction (HRI) is an active area of research and an essential component for the effective integration of mobile robots in everyday environments. In this PhD work, we studied, designed, implemented, and experimentally validated new efficient interaction modalities between humans and robots that share the same workspace. The core of the work revolves around deictic (pointing)...

Exoskeleton robots are a rising technology in industrial contexts to assist humans in onerous applications. Mechanical and control design solutions are intensively investigated to achieve a high performance human-robot collaboration (e.g., transparency, ergonomics, safety, etc.). However, the most of the investigated solutions involve high-cost hardware, complex design solutions and standard...
