Nouriddin Asfour is a doctoral researcher at INRAE, in collaboration with Université Clermont Auvergne.
His research focuses on robotic manipulation and motion planning in deformable natural environments, with a particular interest in perception and interaction with tree structures. His work combines robotics, computer vision, 3D perception, point cloud processing, and learning-based methods for complex outdoor environments.
He holds a Master’s degree in Computer Vision and Robotics (ViBOT) from the University of Bourgogne. Before starting his Ph.D., he developed experience through academic and research projects in computer vision and robotics, including object detection and tracking, sensor fusion, SLAM, deep learning, and robotic perception.
