H. Clergeot

About

H. Clergeot’s research career has centered on sensor-based robotics and signal processing, with major contributions to mobile robot localization and wideband direction-of-arrival estimation. His most cited work introduces a novel, simplified implementation of the coherent signal subspace method for wideband source localization, addressing the challenge of highly correlated echoes in indoor acoustic environments (19 citations). Clergeot also made foundational advances in robot navigation using ultrasonic and infrared beacons, developing a realistic statistical model of measurement errors and a system capable of rejecting erroneous data to improve localization accuracy (10 citations). His early work on electrical proximity sensors and goniometric robot location, including data fusion and error rejection, further demonstrates his sustained focus on robust, practical sensing. Clergeot also contributed to the design of a high-performance two-dimensional laser rangefinder, achieving a relative precision of 0.5×10⁻⁴ and a measurement rate of up to 50 kHz. Through these innovations, Clergeot has advanced the reliability and precision of autonomous robotic systems, leaving a lasting impact on sensor fusion and mobile robot navigation.
