Presentation

Olivier Georgeon has a doctorate in computer science and is a lecturer at the Lyon Catholic University, a member of the CONFLUENCE: Sciences et Humanités research unit (EA 1598). He is also responsible for a bachelor's degree in computer science at UCLy.



His work focuses on the development of developmental and constructivist learning algorithms for artificial agents and robots. In a nutshell, the aim is to make robots capable of learning like babies.
