It regroups researchers who address perception and navigation issues in mobile robotics and who share common approaches which mainly relates to the field of artificial intelligence. The group is gathering some members of the eMotion Inria project-team led by Christian Laugier (DR1) and of teacher-researchers of the CITI Lab. in Lyon working in the robotic group led by Olivier Simonin (Prof.). The team is distributed on two sites, the Centre Inria Grenoble and the CITI Lab. in Lyon.

The Chroma group was initially composed of O. Simonin (Prof. Insa Lyon), C. Laugier (DR1 Inria), J. Dibangoye (MCF. Insa Lyon), A. Martinelli (CR1 Inria) and D. Vasquez (SRP Inria). On December 1, 2015, Anne Spalanzani (MCF Univ. Grenoble, HDR) has joined the group (she was previously in Prima and eMotion Inria teams). In January 2016, Dizan Vasquez leaves the group to join the Apple company.
