Marc Vedrines is a Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, associated with the ICube Research Unit's Automatic Vision Robotics (AVR) team. His educational responsibilities include managing the mechatronics engineering training program through work-study and teaching courses in mechanical construction, strength of materials, mechatronic systems, and projects. His research spans robotics and mechanical systems, with key interests in tensegrity mechanisms, compliant mechanisms, variable stiffness joints, and applications in medical robotics (MR-compatible robots) and aerial vehicles (VTOL UAVs). He investigates the structural behavior and design of innovative robotic components through theoretical analysis and practical implementation. Analysis of his publications from 2010 to 2016 reveals a consistent focus on robotic mechanism design, including tensegrity workspace computation, variable stiffness joints for medical applications, singularity analysis in compliant mechanisms, and aerodynamic optimization of VTOL UAVs. His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between mechanical engineering, robotics, and biomedical/aerospace applications. Marc Vedrines actively contributes to the AVR team at ICube, advancing research in robotics, computer vision, and automatic systems through collaborative projects and publications in high-impact venues like ASME journals and IEEE conferences.
