Congratulations to Dr. Quentin Boehler for the First Prize at the 2016 PhD Thesis Awards from GDR Robotique
Since 2007, the French Research Group in Robotics (GDR Robotique) awards a prize for the best Ph.D. thesis in Robotics. The jury – presided by M. Jean-Paul Laumond, Directeur de Recherche CNRS, LAAS this year – bestowed the First Prize at the 2016 PhD Thesis Awards to Dr. Quentin Boehler, Postdoctoral Researcher at MSRL.
The GDR, an open national Research Group in Robotics established by the CNRS has been officially launched in March 2007. The GDR objective concerns the enhancement of the synergy between national laboratories and the fostering of the dynamics of the field. It comprises about 60 teams from CNRS, Universities, INRIA, and associated R&D Institutions (CEA, ONERA, CEMAGREF…), which represent up to 800 researchers, including half of PhD students.
