Gaëtan Séverac
I grew up in Toulouse, France, where I obtained a university degree in industrial IT Services. I then attended the IMERIR robotics school in Perpignan, where I alternated studies with a job in a Toulouse lab for robotics research. There, I worked on a European project involving communicating cars. Before I obtained my degree in robotics engineering, I also spent a year in Aalborg, Denmark, where I worked on an industrial mobile robot that was conceived to collaborate with the other tools in the factory. My thesis at ONERA in Toulouse talked about robotic spatial exploration and communication between heterogeneous robots.
I'm sure you've got the gist by now: I'm a robotics enthusiast. After talking to a vegetable farmer about his daily challenges, it only seemed natural to me to try and help out using robotics. That's all it took to get Naïo Technologies started with Aymeric. I'm convinced that robotics are not just another tool. Robots are here to help improve working conditions while respecting the environment at the same time. With the help of the Naïo team, I'll do everything in my power to develop this technology throughout the world.
On a more personal level, I thoroughly enjoy nature for hiking, diving or even a simple stroll through the woods. I also like to plant trees and harvest their fruit ... to cook up a good meal.
