Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGrégoire Milliez is a CTO and robotics-focused AI leader with 13 years of experience building human-in-the-loop systems, specializing in behavioral and emotional AI for HRI and conversational agents. He has led software and AI teams at Blue Frog Robotics and now heads technology at Nimbl'Bot, blending product leadership with hands-on development of robot OS, agent behaviors, and emotion-driven decision models. His background spans PhD-level research in context and belief reasoning for HRI, applied work on smart factories and swarm robotics at ALTEN, and practical simulation enhancements—such as integrating WiiMote control and Kinect-based motion capture into the well-known MORSE robotics simulator. Comfortable across C++, Python and computer vision stacks, he ships complex perception, dialogue and adaptive behavior systems that keep humans central to autonomy. Based in Bordeaux, he combines academic rigor with startup execution, often bridging simulation, real-world robotics and user-facing conversational experiences.
