Prix de la meilleure thèse 2016 du GdR Robotique

Mohamed Taha Chikhaoui a obtenu le prix de la meilleure thèse 2016 du GdR Robotique pour un "nouveau concept de robots à tubes concentriques à micro-actionneurs à base de polymères électro-actifs".
Cette thèse, financée par le Labex ACTION, a été effectuée au sein de l'équipe MiNaRoB du département AS2M de FEMTO-ST sous la direction de Nicolas Andreff et Kanty Rabenorosoa et a été soutenue le 17 novembre 2016 à l'Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté.

Depuis 2007, le GdR Robotique délivre un prix de thèse qui a pour but de
distinguer de jeunes chercheurs en robotique dont les travaux, d’une
grande qualité scientifique, ont permis une avancée de la recherche par
des contributions au progrès des connaissances scientifiques et/ou aux
innovations techniques en robotique.

Ce prix lui a été remis le 9 novembre dernier lors des Journées Nationales de la Recherche Robotique qui ont eu lieu du 8 au 10 novembre à Biarritz
