We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Simon Lacroix, CNRS researcher at LAAS.
Simon was a long-time friend of the VIBOT Master and of our research community. He welcomed several of our students for internships and played a key role in the first ANR project involving Le2i – the research group that would later become .
Over the years, Simon consistently showed a warm and supportive interest in our master’s program and our research team. He was always ready to contribute – whether for a conference, a jury, or a new collaboration.
We fondly remember him saying: "It’s a shame that we didn’t think of creating VIBOT before you did."
Simon was a rare blend of deep scientific and robotics knowledge, sincere kindness, and graceful manners.
His presence and his contributions left a lasting mark on all of us who had the privilege to work with him.
He will be deeply missed 💔.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues.
