Discover ISIR
Our teams composed of researchers from various disciplines, around objects, applications and shared scientific matters within the two major challenges of robotics: interactivity with human persons and autonomy.
The advent of artificial intelligences and robots is inducing profound transformations in our societies. ISIR researchers help to anticipate them by working on the autonomy of machines and their ability to interact with human beings.

When the cerebellum orchestrates the precision of every step
Source of the article: CNRS Biology Walking on uneven ground requires constant adjustment of movement. In a study published in Nature Communications, scientists have shown that the activity of certain neurons in the cerebellum synchronises with the transitions between the support and swing phases of the mice’s limbs during…
Towards a new approach to assistive robotics: the challenge of perimanipulation
Assistive robotic arms are designed to offer their users new motor capabilities. These devices, which can be fitted to electric wheelchairs used by people with disabilities, enable them to manipulate objects or interact with their environment through voluntary control. A research project at the interface of robotics, human movement…

LEGMIO: the hands-free crutch awarded at the 2026 Concours Lépine
LEGMIO hands-free crutches particularly impressed visitors. Designed by Nicolas Perrin-Gilbert, a CNRS research fellow at ISIR, this device won the gold medal and the Impact Award thanks to a simple idea: to make it easier for people using crutches to get around whilst allowing them to keep one hand…
A look back at the ISIR Young Scientists’ Day 2026
On Tuesday 26 May 2026, the ISIR Young Scientists’ Day took place, a key event dedicated to the laboratory’s PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and engineers. During the day, PhD students presented their research in oral presentations. A poster session, open to all members of the laboratory, also provided an…
Social roles are neither predetermined nor set in stone
Source of the article: CNRS In animal societies as in human ones, some individuals regularly produce resources while others appropriate them. Contrary to what evolutionary theories(1) had previously suggested, these social roles do not depend solely on innate individual predispositions. On the contrary, a study in mice conducted by…
Portrait of Syrielle Montariol, CNRS research fellow at ISIR in natural language processing

Haptivance: towards touchscreens capable of conveying the sensation of touch
The Haptivance project aims to create a new generation of tactile surfaces capable of producing sensations of force and movement directly under the finger. Based on research conducted at ISIR, it draws on research in haptics and acoustic metamaterials to overcome the limitations of current tactile technologies. This start-up…
