Alexandre Abadie is a Research and Development Engineer with 14 years of experience building and operating robotics and IoT experimentation platforms from microcontrollers to large-scale testbeds. Based in Paris and currently at Inria, he leads the DotBot robotic testbed, manages an experimentation room, and runs training on Git, GitHub Actions and CMake—bridging research needs and reproducible engineering. He is a long-term RIOT OS contributor and core member of FIT/IoT-LAB, where he added LoRa, BLE and UWB support and deployed JupyterHub for large-scale experiments. Alexandre combines embedded driver development and sensor integration with Python-based tooling and documentation work—having improved docs for prominent projects such as scikit-learn and joblib. He also co-initiated a hands-on MOOC on IoT with microcontrollers, showing a consistent focus on education and community enablement. Quietly versatile, he moves between low-level firmware, cloud-hosted experiment infrastructure, and clear developer-facing documentation.
