đź‘‹ Welcome!


I am CĂ©dric Girerd, a CNRS Researcher in Robotics in the DEXTER Team at LIRMM in Montpellier, France. My group focuses on the design and control of continuum, soft and inflatable robots for navigation in structured and unstructured environments. We are mostly interested in medical applications and industrial inspection tasks.
