Biography
Dr. Jeremi Gancet received a MSc in computer science from Université Laval, Quebec, Canada, and a PhD in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence from the National Polytechnical Institute of Toulouse, working with the Laboratoire d’Analyse et d’Architecture des Systèmes (LAAS), Toulouse, France. During his PhD he developed navigation strategies for planetary rovers, making use of stereovision based terrain modelling and traversability analysis. He also developed a multi-aerial robots (UAV) architecture for decision making. He joined Space Applications Services in 2005, where he led activities in many ESA and EC (FP6, FP7, H2020) R&D projects, as robotic systems team leader. In 2016, he was appointed manager of the Technologies, Research and Applications division. He is the coordinator of the ongoing H2020 DexROV project (Dexterous ROV intervention in presence of communication latency), and also coordinates two other H2020 Space programme projects (InFuse and LUVMI).
