About
Ph. Bidaud is a pioneering roboticist whose work bridges rough-terrain locomotion, human-robot collaboration, and surgical robotics. His most influential contributions center on hybrid wheel-legged robots, where he introduced decoupled posture and trajectory control for systems like the HYLOS robot—enabling stable, adaptive movement across uneven ground (86 citations). He further advanced off-road mobility by modeling robot-soil interaction for planetary rovers (31 citations) and developed stabilization algorithms for high-speed car-like robots (21 citations). Beyond terrestrial robotics, Bidaud explored haptic feedback fidelity in telesurgery, using pig heart tissue data to improve force/displacement accuracy in robotic surgery (17 citations). His later work addresses ergonomic design for collaborative robots, proposing virtual-human-in-the-loop methods to assess musculoskeletal risk (15 citations). With over 200 total citations across locomotion control, human-robot cooperation, and assistive robotics, Bidaud’s research has shaped both industrial applications—such as sit-to-stand assistance and social robot following—and foundational theory in hybrid locomotion and human-robot interaction.
