About
Delphine Keller is a robotics researcher specializing in remote handling technologies and advanced robotic systems for hazardous environments, with a particular focus on nuclear fusion applications. Based at the Interactive Robotics Laboratory of CEA LIST, she has made significant contributions to the development of inspection and intervention robots designed for operation within tokamak fusion reactors, most notably in support of the international ITER project. Keller's most influential work centers on the design, development, and operational deployment of long-reach articulated inspection robots capable of functioning under extreme conditions — including ultra-high vacuum, elevated temperatures, and intense magnetic fields. Her 2009 paper demonstrating robot operation on the Tore Supra tokamak has garnered 64 citations, establishing it as a landmark contribution to fusion robotics. Complementary work on real-time command-control architectures and systematic geometric calibration of flexible multi-link carriers further underscores her breadth across both hardware and software dimensions of robotic engineering. With cumulative citations exceeding 150 across her key publications, Keller's research has meaningfully advanced the feasibility of remote maintenance in next-generation fusion devices, making her work essential reading for researchers working at the intersection of robotics, nuclear engineering, and hazardous environment automation.
