Silvère Bonnabel, associate researcher at the Robotics Center, and Professor at MINES ParisTech since 2009, has just won the “European Control Award”, a prestigious European prize for young researcher in automatic control. The purpose of this prize is to distinguish each year a researcher under the age of 40 with exceptional contributions in the field of automatic control and systems, and working in a European higher education or research establishment.

“I am particularly pleased to win this award, and to join the prestigious list of previous recipients. I would also like to thank Robert Mahony of the Australian National University (ANU) for his assistance in the nomination process,” said Silvère. He was invited to present his work during a plenary conference at the major European conference in the field “European Control Conference”, where the award ceremony was also held.

Congratulations to Martin Brossard, 1^st Thesis Prize ex aequo of GdR Robotique (Robotics research group created by the CNRS and bringing together more than 1200 members) for his thesis entitled “Deep learning, inertial measurements units, and odometry: some modern prototyping techniques for navigation based on multi-sensor fusion », defended on September 22, 2020 at Mines Paris – PSL.

The jury particularly praised the originality and excellence of his work, valued by rank A publications and software developments in open source.
The educational quality of the manuscript as well as its missions of scientific mediation at the Palais de la Découverte were also very much appreciated.

Currently an R&D SLAM/computer vision engineer at Arcturus Industries (Madrid, Spain), Martin Brossard completed his thesis at Robotics Center (CAOR), under the direction of Silvère Bonnabel, himself recently distinguished with the European Control Award, and Axel Barrau (associate researcher at CAOR).
