MATLAB symbolic math toolbox, software developer: creation of a symbolic library for solving complex multibody dynamic and robotic systems:

• Symbolic dynamic equation of complex systems.
• Direct derivatives of differential equations with respect to parameters.
• Integration method for sensitivity analysis.

Fortran, software developer: co-development of MBSVT, a numerical library for solving complex multibody dynamics and robotic systems including:

• Kinematic, Static and Dynamic analysis.
• Hybrid (continuous and discontinuous) direct and adjoint parameters sensitivity analysis.
• Systems optimization and control.

Model Projects :

• Passive bipedal walking stability dealing with non-smooth contacts.
• Linear hydro-pneumatic actuator simulation.
• Tracked and suspended vehicle systems.
• Vehicle suspension simulation.
