About

Nicolas Morette is a robotics researcher whose work bridges autonomous mobile robot navigation and telemedicine, with a particular focus on robotized tele-echography. His research spans three interconnected domains: mobile robot control and navigation, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and tele-operated robotic systems for medical applications. Morette made significant contributions to the WOrld wide Robotized Tele-Echography eXperiment (WORTEX 2012), a landmark project that demonstrated the feasibility of delivering remote ultrasound examinations across continents. His work on predictive control approaches for mobile robots introduced innovative methods using direct kinematics models and continuous-domain trajectory optimization, adaptable to various robotic platforms. Morette also advanced SLAM algorithms for wheeled mobile robots, experimentally validating Extended Kalman Filter approaches on Wifibot platforms. His development of a pneumatic haptic probe replica for tele-robotized ultrasonography addressed the critical challenge of providing force feedback to remote sonographers. With over 40 citations across his most influential papers, Morette's research has helped establish the technical foundations for making specialist medical expertise accessible to underserved populations through robotic telemedicine systems.
