Abstract

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Prof. Philippe Coiffet on Friday, 20 October 2023, at the age of 83. Philippe was a remarkable person. As a scientist, he was a visionary and an open-minded researcher; he dedicated his life to the field of robotics (in particular, telerobotics and virtual reality), and he leaves us a rich legacy. On a human level, he was incredibly friendly and kind and an outstanding mentor to his students. Philippe received a doctorate in nuclear physics from Orsay University. He spent his entire scientific career at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique. In 1972, he set up the first public robotics research team at the University of Montpellier. Since then, he took numerous secondments. Philippe developed the first force feedback data glove in France, and he worked on enhancing computer-assisted telerobotics with virtual and augmented realities. He published more than 20 scientific books on robotics and virtual reality (most of them were translated into English and some into other languages) as well as more than 300 articles on these subjects. A full “In Memoriam” article is available at https://www.ieee-ras.org/about-ras/latest-news/in-memoriam-philippe-coiffet-1940-2023 ; you can leave a personal message to remember and honor Philippe at http://www.lirmm.fr/philippe-coiffet/ .

悼念Philippe Coiffet（1940-2023 年）[社会新闻］

Philippe Coiffet 教授于 2023 年 10 月 20 日星期五去世，享年 83 岁。菲利普是一个了不起的人。作为一名科学家，他具有远见卓识和开阔的研究视野；他毕生致力于机器人学领域（特别是远程机器人学和虚拟现实），为我们留下了丰富的遗产。在为人处世方面，他非常友好和善良，是学生们的杰出导师。菲利普获得了奥赛大学核物理博士学位。他的整个科学生涯都是在国家科学研究中心度过的。1972 年，他在蒙彼利埃大学成立了第一个公共机器人研究小组。此后，他又多次借调。菲利普开发了法国第一个力反馈数据手套，并致力于利用虚拟和增强现实技术提高计算机辅助远程机器人技术。他出版了 20 多本关于机器人和虚拟现实的科学著作（其中大部分被翻译成英文，还有一些被翻译成其他语言），以及 300 多篇关于这些主题的文章。完整的 "悼念 "文章请访问 https://www.ieee-ras.org/about-ras/latest-news/in-memoriam-philippe-coiffet-1940-2023；您也可以在 http://www.lirmm.fr/philippe-coiffet/ 留言缅怀和纪念 Philippe。

期刊介绍： IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine is a unique technology publication which is peer-reviewed, readable and substantive. The Magazine is a forum for articles which fall between the academic and theoretical orientation of scholarly journals and vendor sponsored trade publications. IEEE Transactions on Robotics and IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering publish advances in theory and experiment that underpin the science of robotics and automation. The Magazine complements these publications and seeks to present new scientific results to the practicing engineer through a focus on working systems and emphasizing creative solutions to real-world problems and highlighting implementation details. The Magazine publishes regular technical articles that undergo a peer review process overseen by the Magazine''s associate editors; special issues on important and emerging topics in which all articles are fully reviewed but managed by guest editors; tutorial articles written by leading experts in their field; and regular columns on topics including education, industry news, IEEE RAS news, technical and regional activity and a calendar of events.
