👋 Welcome!

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