About

Emmanuel Baccelli is a leading researcher at the intersection of the Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics, with a primary focus on enabling low-cost, open-source, and scalable wireless communication for embedded systems. His most influential work is the introduction of the **FIT IoT-LAB testbed** (2015, 424 citations), a massive open experimental platform comprising 2,728 low-power wireless nodes and 117 mobile robots. This testbed has become a cornerstone for researchers worldwide, accelerating the development and validation of large-scale IoT technologies, from low-level protocols to advanced Internet services. Baccelli’s contributions extend to pioneering the integration of IoT and robotics, notably through the **RIOT-ROS2** framework, which leverages Information-Centric Networking (ICN) and Named Data Networking (NDN) to control low-cost robots. His work on the **RIOT Car** and NDN-based IoT robotics demonstrates how tiny, cheap robots can seamlessly communicate within IoT ecosystems, blurring the lines between the two fields. By combining hardware, software, and communication aspects, Baccelli has laid the groundwork for a future where ubiquitous, low-cost robots are integral to the Internet of Things, making his research highly impactful for students and engineers exploring embedded wireless systems and autonomous systems.
