About me

I'm a final-year engineering student specializing in Robotics and Interactive Systems at UPSSITECH.

I enjoy building complete intelligent systems at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, artificial intelligence and software engineering — from perception and autonomous navigation to robot manipulation and applied machine learning.

My recent work includes research on 3D perception and vision-language robotic manipulation at AIST Japan, autonomous Formula Student path planning with TLSe Racing, and an independent reproduction of EarlyEval for predicting AI agent outcomes from partial execution trajectories.

📍 Toulouse, France 🎯 Seeking an internship from March to August 2027


Research & Robotics Experience

🇯🇵 AIST Japan — Robotics Research Intern

Computer Vision Research Team · Artificial Intelligence Research Center (AIRC) Apr 2026 – Aug 2026 · Tsukuba, Japan

Extended SVLR (Scalable Visual Language Robotics) for long-horizon robotic manipulation.

  • Developed an open-vocabulary RGB-D 3D perception pipeline using Grounding DINO and SAM 2.
  • Designed persistent world memory for object identity, visibility, spatial relations and pose history.
  • Integrated perception, planning and execution with ROS 2, RMBench/RoboTwin and a real Franka Panda.
  • Evaluated the complete system over 900 simulation episodes across 9 tasks, achieving 71.1% overall success, with six tasks reaching 92–100%.

🏎️ TLSe Racing — Path Planning Engineer, Driverless Team

Worked on autonomous trajectory planning and vehicle control for a Formula Student race car.

  • Developed and evaluated RRT*-based trajectory planning strategies.
  • Implemented trajectory smoothing and curvature-aware vehicle control.
  • Integrated the final approach into a ROS 2 / Gazebo Formula Student simulation.
  • Reduced simulated lap time from 44 s to 30 s (-28.6%).
