Dynamium Shines at Two Scientific Events

A Spring of Research at Dynamium

Hello, Dynamium! This spring 2025, several members of our lab took the stage at two major events to present their cutting-edge work at the intersection of robotics and artificial intelligence. And guess what : three of them came home with awards!

Yes, our researchers don’t just control robots, they also manage to charm the juries (with solid science, of course).

Three Awards, Three Inspiring Projects

• 🥇 Ghali Kabbaj won First Prize – Undergraduate Category at the Colloque des jeunes chercheures et chercheurs for his presentation: “Improving the Accuracy of a Robotic Arm Model Using a Hybrid AI-Physics Approach.”
  In simple terms: teaching a robotic arm to better understand its own dynamics — like a robot discovering its muscles.

• 🥈 Nikos Doiron earned Second Prize – Doctoral Category at the Ma thèse en 180 secondes (MT180) competition for his project: “A Human-Robot Collaboration Like That Between Two Humans.”
  The goal: making human-robot interaction as natural as talking to a colleague. Except this one never forgets what you asked for.

• 💖 Meriem Haddaji Mastouri won the Audience Favorite Award with her presentation: “Fast Robotics: Harnessing GPU Power to Optimize Trajectories.”
  In other words, making robots move as fast as our GPUs heat up during a simulation.

The Dynamium Spirit

These achievements highlight what makes Dynamium stand out: curiosity, creativity, and scientific rigor.
Our researchers explore how to make robots smarter, faster, and more collaborative, always with a sense of humor, because a lab without laughter is like a robot without power.

Congratulations again to Meriem, Nikos, and Ghali for their excellent presentations and well-deserved awards!
