Bio
Adrien Escande received the MSc degree from École des Mines de Paris, France (2005) and the PhD degree in robotics from Université d'Évry Val-d’Essonne (2008), France after spending three years in the CNRS-AIST Joint Robotics Laboratory (JRL), UMI3218/CRT, Tsukuba, Japan. He then worked as a research scientist in CEA-LIST at Fontenay-aux-Roses, France (2009-2012), before coming back to JRL (2012). He is now permanent researcher at AIST, co-chair of the IEEE/RAS Technical committee on model-based optimization, and AE for RAL. His current research interests include whole-body planning and control for humanoid robots and numerical optimization for robotics.
