معرفی
David Daney is a Senior Researcher (Directeur de recherche) at Inria and HDR-qualified academic, currently serving as Head of Science for the Inria Center at the University of Bordeaux since July 2024. He is the team leader of the Auctus research group, focusing on robotics, cobotics, and human-robot interaction. He is affiliated with Inria and the École Nationale Supérieure de Cognitique (ENSC) at the University of Bordeaux, within the College of Engineering and the Department of Robotics.
His research interests include Robotics, Cobotics, Human-Robot Interaction, Human Posture Analysis, Cable-driven Robots, Parameters Identification, Calibration, Interval Analysis, and Haptic Guidance. His work bridges theoretical robotics with industrial applications, particularly in aerospace, automotive, and sustainable agriculture. He has led and participated in numerous industrial collaborations with Airbus, Stellantis, Solvay, AKKA, and Farm3.
His recent publications (2023–2025) demonstrate a strong focus on human-robot physical interaction, including real-time capacity estimation (Pycapacity), haptic guidance, model predictive control for dynamic environments, and musculoskeletal modeling for collaborative robotics. These works appear in top-tier journals such as IEEE Transactions on Robotics, Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, and Robotics and Autonomous Systems.

David Daney supervises multiple PhD students, including Alicia Barsacq, Ahmed-Manaf Dahmani, and Alexis Boulay. He has been principal investigator in several research projects such as LiChIE and ANR Pacbot, focusing on satellite production and human-robot collaboration. He also leads the SHAARE associate team with KAIST’s IRiS lab, advancing shared haptic control. His team develops tools for teleoperation, ergonomic analysis, and robot calibration, with applications in industrial and assistive robotics.
He leads the Auctus team at Inria, which develops control and analysis techniques for human-robot physical interaction. The team collaborates with KAIST (SHAARE), ONERA, Pprime Institute, and industrial partners. The MOVER project studies human motor variability for ergonomics, and the Farm3 collaboration explores teleoperated vertical farming robotics.
