About me

Hi ! I’m Adrien BRACQ ! I’m a french engineer in mechatronics, and I work at the FabLab La Machinerie since 2014 that I helped to launch at the beginning. I’m a also a robot enthusiast and I have a robotic team participating in the French Robotics Cup since 8 years.

My background

Since 2014 - FabManager at La Machinerie and I am responsible for a scientific and technical mediation program on robotics for young people

2012-2014 - Two years at Faiveley Transport, Amiens, France Customer Quality Engineer - Follow-up, control and resolution of customer non-conformities - Implementation of a nonconformity tracking system for train hardware

2009-2012 - E.N.S.I.A.M.E. (National School of Engineering in Automatic Computing Energy and Electronics), Valenciennes, France Last year of the engineering cycle specialized in Mechatronics

2009 - Three months of laboratory internship at the University of Leeuwarden, the Netherlands - Wireless link between a robot and a computer system - Programming the stability algorithm of a quadruped robot - Realization of a program in JAVA for the manipulation of the robot

2007-2009 - University degree in technology in automatic and electronic

My robotic team

Botly - Pedagogic robot

My final project

I would like to work on building a LiDar for our robots of the robotics cup, so our robot will be able to detect other robots on the table and can make decisions on the strategy of the match. I would like to develop a cheap but efficient solution so it can be used by other team of the competition.

The reason is that number of team haven’t a efficient system of detection, especially beginners because of the price of the sensor ( LiDAr , laser ) and because of the development time.

So it have to be simple, efficient, has to be in line with the rules of the competition and can be improved if the teams want to go further.
