A survey of robotics research activity in France was performed for the US Army to obtain a broad perspective on French robotics activities and to identify topics for possible US/French cooperation. French government and industrial laboratories were visited in the Paris area, Grenoble, Toulon, and Toulouse. The team was very well received, and there was significant interest in setting up meaningful collaboration. The French have a significant ongoing effort in mobile robotics and, through several joint European research programs, are in the process of increasing this effort. The facilities and resources committed to mobile robotics research were impressive. There is a significant amount of cooperation among government agencies, industry, and universities. Areas for possible collaboration were agreed upon as well as a follow-up visit to the US by the French and a possible exchange of engineers. The details of the collaboration will be addressed following issuance of the Army report summarizing the visit to France.
