Bilateral Contracts with Industry

  • In December, PERCEPTION started a one year collaboration with the Digital Media and Communications R&D Center, Samsung Electronics (Seoul, Korea). The topic of this collaboration is multi-modal speaker localization and tracking (a central topic of the team) and is part of a strategic partnership between Inria and Samsung Electronics.

  • Over the past six years we have collaborated with Aldebaran Robotics (now SoftBank). This collaboration was part of two EU STREP projects, HUMAVIPS (2010-2012) and EARS (2014-2016). This enabled our team to establish strong connections with SoftBank, to design a stereoscopic camera head and to jointly develop several demonstrators using three different generations of the NAO robot.
