This homepage describes some of my works on the subject of Mobile Robots.

After reading a Scientfic American article in spring 1992, I really got interested in walking robots : Mobots.

This was a great application for the new low power, analog capable microcontrollers available at that time.

• Spider, first attempt of hexapod locomotion.
  
• A Prototype Mobot for gait finding
  
• Beast, a four legged Mobot. With Videos.
  
• Sniky, a mechanical Snake. With Videos.

These designs were far from beeing as sophisticated as MIT ones, but still depart from usual toys consumer society offers us.

Beast and Sniky were exhibited at AAAI98 and are included in the video proceedings.

Some photos of this homepage are available in high definition by clicking on their low resolution counterparts.
