Former student at the Mechanical Engineering Department of École Normale Supérieure de Cachan, holding a PhD in Automatic Control from the Montpellier 2 University, Dr. François Pierrot now serves as a Director of Research for the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in the LIRMM. For more than 15 years, he has been working to create new robots considering simultaneously mechanical design and control strategies, on theoretical aspects as well as in close cooperation with industrial partners in the fields of industry, health and education. François Pierrot participated in the creation of the fastest parallel robot in the world's patent, acquired by Adept, a U.S. leader in robotic systems. In 2011 he received the First CNRS Medal of Innovation.
