About

Laurence Josserand is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and telemedicine, with a primary focus on advancing robotized tele-echography systems. Her work addresses the critical challenge of delivering specialist medical expertise to remote or underserved populations, bridging the gap between engineering innovation and practical healthcare delivery. Josserand’s major contributions include developing anticipative control approaches and interactive graphical user interfaces that enhance the transparency and safety of bilateral tele-operation tasks, even under significant communication delays. Her leadership in the WORTEX 2012 project, which transitioned from engineering success to real-world healthcare deployment, has garnered 8 citations and stands as a landmark in the field. Additionally, her predictive control methods for mobile robots, which optimize navigation in continuous parameter spaces, have been cited 4 times each, demonstrating her versatility in both medical and general robotics. Josserand’s work on the MARTE project, a tele-echography initiative between Kyperounta and Nicosia in Cyprus, further underscores her commitment to tangible clinical impact. Her research continues to shape the future of remote diagnostics, making quality healthcare more accessible worldwide.
