My main interest has always been robotics. For me it's the perfect domain to learn a lot about many subjects (electronics, mechanics, software, even psychology!) without ever seeing an end to innovation. Through the years, I have built a lot of robots. Some were minimalist, others were pretty complex. Here is a short summary:

=================

The ASA (Aspirateur Semi-Autonome) serie. With my good friend Louis Landry-Michaud we built 3 vacuum cleaning robots for a local science fair (Expo-Sciences Bell). The first one was horrible and poorly working, but we won in our school. The second one was better looking and it worked! We won public prize and Ecole Polytechnique prize at the regional competition. The third one was never ended...

My two biggest projects ever were built for Eurobot. Created in 1998, Eurobot is an international amateur robotics contest open to teams of young people, organised either in student projects or in independent clubs. Eurobot takes place in Europe but also welcomes countries from all over the world.

My first EE term team project in Electrical Engineering, a robot that can reproduce the colour of the ground. This project was never completely finished, notice the bad deplacements, but we still managed to receive a mention for innovation for our "Color Matching" feature.
