About
D. Keller is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced mechanical systems, remote handling technologies, and human-machine interaction, with a particular focus on applications in hazardous and nuclear environments. Based at CEA LIST's Interactive Robotics Laboratory, Keller has made significant contributions to the design, modeling, and deployment of sophisticated robotic systems intended for some of the most challenging operational contexts imaginable — including spent nuclear fuel facilities and experimental fusion reactors such as Tore Supra and ITER. Among Keller's most recognized contributions is research into haptic interfaces for virtual environments, exploring how articulated mechanical structures can faithfully transmit force feedback to operators, accumulating 22 citations. Equally influential is his work on long-reach articulated carriers — highly dexterous, slender robotic manipulators capable of navigating confined spaces over distances exceeding six meters — which has driven both geometric modeling refinements and elastic error calibration techniques. His demonstrations of ITER-relevant remote handling equipment and inspection robots capable of operating under extreme vacuum and temperature conditions have helped establish practical frameworks for fusion reactor maintenance. Collectively, Keller's publications, spanning 2007 to 2010, reflect a researcher steadily advancing the frontier of remotely operated robotics where human access is impossible or dangerous.
