Visits to International Teams

Sabbatical programme

This year, Christian Duriez realized a geographical mobility, since he was invited for 7 months in the team of Allison Okamura (Stanford University). He worked on two projects: the creation of deformable haptic interfaces and the mechanical modeling of the “vine robot” (https://www.vinerobots.org). The trip was funded in part by a Fulbright scholarship.

In addition, a doctoral student of their team, Margaret Koehler, makes a stay of 6 months paid by a Chateaubriand Fellowship.

These exchanges are part of the program Inria @ SiliconValley. See the interview of C. Duriez and the interview of M. Koehler.
