AN INDEPENDENT RESEARCH WORKSPACE

Public robotics
and AI.

I'm Ilias Amri. Tricity Labs brings together my work on robotics, mapping and simulation. I'm building research platforms and sharing what I learn along the way.

Rover and drone

An 11-inch drone and a four-wheel rover for mapping and data collection. Navigation and localisation are being tested in simulation and on recorded datasets.

SOFT ROBOTICS / SOFAExperimental

SoftGen

Given a starting shape and a target after inflation, SoftGen searches for chamber layouts and pressures, simulates the result, and exports the geometry.

Quarry search with Clay

Search IGN aerial imagery with Clay embeddings, then compare candidate quarry sites with the ICPE registry and OpenStreetMap.

02 / COBOT EXPERIMENTS

Cobot packing and traceability

EXPLORATORY

Experiments with a cobot for picking and packing items, with a record of what goes into each package.

The aim is to connect physical handling with item identification, inventory updates and checks for missing or misplaced items.

BEHIND TRICITY LABS

A workspace I’m building as I go.

There's still plenty to build. I want to share the code, data and experiment notes, including failed runs, so others can follow the work and try things themselves.
