Origin of the project

The Chroma group was created in the beginning of year 2015 (March). It regroups researchers who address perception and decision-making issues in mobile robotics and who share common approaches that mainly relates to the field of artificial intelligence. The group is gathering some members of the previous eMotion Inria project-team led by Christian Laugier (2002-2014) and of teacher-researchers from INSA (National Institute of Applied Sciences) (INSA Lyon is part of the Université de Lyon) Lyon working in the robotic group led by Prof. Olivier Simonin in CITI Lab. (Centre of Innovation in Telecommunications and Integration of Service, see http://www.citi-lab.fr/) (since 2013). The team is distributed on two sites : the Centre Inria Grenoble and the INSA Lyon campus.

The Chroma group was initially composed of Olivier Simonin (Prof. INSA Lyon), Christian Laugier (Inria researcher DR1), Jilles Dibangoye (Asso. Prof. INSA Lyon), Agostino Martinelli (Inria researcher CR1) and Dizan Vasquez (Inria starting researcher SRP). On December 1, 2015, Anne Spalanzani (Asso. Prof. Univ. Grenoble, habilite) has joined the group (she was previously in Prima and eMotion Inria teams). In January 2016, Dizan Vasquez has left the group to join the Apple company.
