M2 Research Internship -- Cooperative multi-robot non-prehensile manipulation

How can a team of robots work together to push and transport unknown objects without prior knowledge of their properties? This Master’s thesis aims to develop innovative distributed control algorithms that enable a group of mobile robots to autonomously manipulate objects of unknown properties (mass, friction, and center of mass), overcoming sensing and actuation constraints through intelligent collaboration.

The work will be carried in English at the Centre Inria de l’Université de Rennes research center in Rennes, France.
