Robotics & Controls Portfolio
Clément Dumeril.
I work on model-based control and learning for robots.
MEng student at UC Berkeley (2026-2027), in control of robotic and autonomous systems. Before that, mechanical engineering at Arts et Metiers: CAD, FEA, simulation, machining, vibrations.
01. Experience
With Prof. Giuseppe Loianno. SAC policies that fly a fixed-wing drone's control surfaces at 50 Hz: 99 of 100 windy test flights vs. 97 for a cascaded PID, with lower airspeed error on every seed (0.59 vs. 0.78 m/s). Training ported to C++ (RLtools), ROS 2 interface to PX4 SITL.
Engineering consultancy for hardware projects. Founded the firm, won its first client contracts and ran the CFD and aeroacoustic study (OpenFOAM) of a quiet desk fan.
Vision-language pipeline (Gemini) that extracts engineering data from handwritten product-idea sheets: correct extractions from about 53% to 76%, ahead of classical vision and YOLO baselines.
Led 5 engineers on a $75k R&D project for the French Ministry of the Interior, from concept to a working prototype (Alten Prize 2025). As commercial director, a record $350k year and 30 student project managers trained.

Get in touch.
I'm looking for robotics, controls and ML roles from May 2027. Email is the fastest way to reach me.
