Soumic is a robotic researcher at the Robotics & Autonomous Systems unit of the Department of Mechanics of the Belgian Royal Military Academy. His research focuses on developing solutions for heterogeneous robot fleet management in tough environments.<\/p>\n

He received his Master’s Degree in Mechatronics from the Mechanical Department of Bengal Engineering and Science University Shibpur [BESUS], now Indian Institute of Engineering, Science, and Technology<\/a> in 2009. Then he received his Doctoral Degree in Control and Automation from the Electrical Engineering Department of Indian Institute of Technology Delhi<\/a>\u00a0in 2016 with a thesis on \u201cFormation topologies and cooperative control of multi-agent systems\". After his Doctoral study, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at LAI-Robotics Lab<\/a> of University of Cassino and Southern Lazio<\/a> in Italy on the localization of a streamer of hydrophones attched to the Folaga underwater vehicle in the framework of the WiMUST H2020 project<\/a>. Then he joined DIMES of University of Calabria<\/a> in Italy to work on underwater communication and predictive control. Afterwards, he worked on autonomous driving of an IVECO truck in an off-road environment in the Institute of Software Technology<\/a> of Technical University of Graz<\/a> in Austria. Then he was at the LARIAT lab<\/a> of the University of Dubrovnik<\/a> in Croatia to work on the optimal coverage control of an underwater vehicle in the framework of the H2020 project SeaClear<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His research interests include modelling, estimation, planning and control of multi-agent dynamical systems which find applications across land, air and maritime domain.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Soumic joined the Belgian Royal Military Academy to participate in the iMUGS<\/a> project that aims to develop and deploy a modular, standardized, and open system architecture for manned-unmanned team of robots to support armed forces on the field.<\/p>\n
