Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPierre Fernbach is a research engineer and PhD-holding roboticist with 11 years of experience specializing in motion planning and trajectory generation for legged robots, particularly quadrupeds and humanoids. Based in Occitania, he currently leads R&D on humanoid locomotion at Toward (PAL France), collaborating closely with the Gepetto team at LAAS-CNRS where he completed his doctoral and postdoctoral work. His expertise spans both algorithmic development and software implementation (C++, C, Python, ROS, Corba), with contributions to the Humanoid Path Planner and experience integrating deformable-body and contact-aware planning in physical simulators. He pairs a strong academic record—peer-reviewed publications and international presentations—with hands-on embedded and systems work from earlier industry internships. Notably, he blends formal methods experience (Petri-net diagnostics) with practical robot locomotion research, giving him a rare cross-disciplinary perspective on reliable motion under constraints.
