About
Y. Perrot is a prominent robotics researcher whose work spans two interconnected domains: advanced exoskeleton systems for human rehabilitation and remote handling robotics for hazardous nuclear environments. Based at CEA-LIST's Interactive Robotics Laboratory, Perrot has made foundational contributions to both fields, accumulating over 400 citations across key publications. Perrot's most celebrated achievement is the development of ABLE, a groundbreaking transparent upper-limb exoskeleton featuring an innovative screw-and-cable transmission system, which earned 139 citations and established new benchmarks in wearable robotic design. Complementing this, Perrot contributed to rehabilitation robotics through the design of a reversible orthosis capable of functioning in both passive and active therapeutic modes. Perhaps equally significant is Perrot's sustained leadership in nuclear robotics, particularly the decade-long development of long-reach articulated inspection robots for ITER and the Tore Supra tokamak — environments where human access is impossible. This work, spanning from early manipulator concepts in 2003 through successful operational deployment by 2009, demonstrates rare engineering persistence and real-world impact. Additional contributions to haptic interface modeling and real-time control architectures further reflect the breadth of Perrot's expertise in making robots both precise and human-collaborative.
