About

Myriam Blouin is a leading researcher in the field of indoor robotic logistics, with a primary focus on deploying safe, efficient, and integrated robotic fleets within complex human environments. Her most impactful work centers on the ENDORSE concept, which addresses the critical gap between the high commercial potential of hospital logistics robotics and their limited market adoption. Blouin’s major contribution is the development of a multi-robot system designed to operate without costly infrastructure modifications, a key barrier to widespread acceptance. Her flagship 2019 paper, cited 31 times, outlines a framework for an integrated indoor robotic fleet that prioritizes safety and efficiency in healthcare and commercial spaces. By targeting the specific logistical challenges of hospitals—such as navigating dynamic corridors and interacting with staff and patients—Blouin’s research paves the way for practical, scalable automation. Her work is notable for its holistic approach, focusing not just on individual robot capabilities but on the seamless orchestration of a fleet within existing workflows, making her a pivotal figure in advancing real-world robotic logistics.
