Mechatronics, general programming, networks (intrabot,
interbot), interface design. Trained as an engineer in
Paris, he also has a strong artistic creativity which
shows through all the work he does for the SAILS project.

Autonomous robot control. Potential of the unsupervised
multitude and
investigation of swarm intelligence to outperform centralised
coordination
schemes. 3D dynamic simulations. Julien has worked on the
stabilization of the
cubes and a preliminary attempt for distributed self-organisation.
Parallely, he
has fully characterised the cubes in a dynamic model in
order to conduct
realistic experiments in simulation.

General design, structural design, manager for construction
and assemblage, 03-04. Guillaume is responsible for the
final design of the trusses and participated in the implementation
of the M180 prototype; he also designed a clever device
for fast truss assemblage.

Paola
did her final graduate project on the Mascarillons aerobots
at NXI GESTATIO in 2003-2004. She was responsible for the
preliminary design, components research and selection, prototyping,
assemblage, and various experiments. She did a considerable
study to define and locate the optimal components for the
first aerobots. Her pioneer work was unvaluable to kickstart
the project. |
Jean-Christophe
was Paola's supervisor during her training period in Montreal.
His expertise in robotic flying devices (blimps and slow-flyers),
transmitted trhrough numerous phone and e-mail communications,
allowed Paola's preliminary explorations to result in a
working prototype.

and assemblage (structure and electronics). Lucie works on
electronic circuits assamblage and on general aerobot construction
tasks. |
Christophe
is a newcomer in the project, which is why his photograph
is still to comme. He will work on precise measurements of
different kinds (motor thrusts, lift), and on C programming
for different modules related to the implementation of a user-friendly
control interface. |
