Lise Cellier

About

Lise Cellier’s research focuses on advancing robotic control for complex, real-world environments—particularly underwater and mobile manipulation. Her major contributions lie in developing robust hybrid position/force control schemes for tele-operated hydraulic underwater manipulators, enabling precise remote intervention tasks like weld inspection and connector mating. She also pioneered collision avoidance strategies for dual-arm robots using reflex actions, validated through both simulation and experimentation. Cellier’s work on position/force control for manipulators mounted on vehicles addresses the challenge of performing tasks on uneven outdoor terrain, proposing robust control laws for vehicle-embedded frames. Her most-cited paper (20 citations) on underwater manipulator control remains a foundational reference in the field. Through her research, Cellier has significantly advanced the automation and tele-assistance capabilities of robotic systems operating in hazardous or inaccessible environments, laying groundwork for safer and more efficient remote operations.
