• Identify relevant industrial use cases
• Capture and prioritize industrial use-cases, operational constraints and performance targets KPI;
• Write the associated technical specification;
• Prepare the material needed for the humanoid training center;
• Identify the best design for the gripper based on the existing ones inside VALEO factories.
• Lead the RO humanoid training center
• Fine tuning of the VLA until the accuracy KPI is reached;
• Check if the time could be optimized with simulation SIM2REAL (like NVIDIA Isaac Sim or MuJoCo).
• Train the robots on supply chain and dexterity industrial tasks with the materials delivered by the plants (real conditions);
• Lead trainees and PhD to support this activity;
• Identify and build the needed trainings for engineering and industrial VALEO teams corresponding to the technologies involved and tested;
• Prepare the robots to be sent to the VALEO plants.
• Based on lessons learned, write recommendations to start designing the future assets compatible with the humanoid constraints, in collaboration with the process engineering network (“Humanoid process design”).
• Maintain a technology watch
• Compile the state of the Art and integrate the new technologies inside the humanoid training center (like RL + VLA, or new open or weight sources like discrete or video VLA and use of UMI : universal manipulation interface);




• Participate in the main events or exhibition shows organised to touch the technology and build a strong external network.
• Lead division suppliers and challenge them
• Run the robots defined by division inside the RO training center;
• Participate by the division suppliers to all the needed trainings to be at the best level in VLA;
• Scan permanently the panel of suppliers, involving newcomers;
• Visit the supplier’s facilities and invite them in VALEO plants to check their abilities in the workfloor;
• After check-in, suggest any need to add newcomers inside the division panel.
• Evaluate the maturity of the technology
• Experiment the technology across POC (proof of concept) workshops in the VALEO plants;
• Evaluate the main KPI defined;
• Update the specifications with the lessons learned.
• Prepare a safe use of the humanoid in our factories :
• Support Division to write the safety framework to be applied worldwide;
• Support Division to build the cybersafety framework to be applied worldwide;
• Ensure ongoing compliance with evolving industrial regulations and norms
• Coordinate the activity :
• at division POWER level : with the Digital Manager of RO Drive and the Digital Manager of RO Thermal;
• at Group level : with all the RO plants of BRAIN and LIGHT divisions.
