Franck Ruffier (CNRS senior researcher) received an engineering degree in 2000 and a Ph.D. degree from INP-Grenoble in 2004, as well as a habilitation to supervise research (HDR in French) from Aix-Marseille University in 2013. His present position is CNRS senior researcher at the Institute of Movement Science (ISM). His main areas of interest are vision chips, bio-inspired optic flow processing, and biomimetic sensory motor-control laws.

Julien Serres (Professor Aix-Marseille University) focuses his research focuses on biorobotics, a discipline at the interface between life sciences and robotics.

Humans and animals perform similar complex navigation tasks, yet have vastly different visual systems and brains. He is focusing his research on the use of polarized light to invent the navigation systems of tomorrow.
