ENSTA Bretagne : formations en robotique avec Nao

Autonomous Robotics

DESIGNING AUTONOMOUS DRONES FOR A WIDE RANGE OF MISSIONS AND ENVIRONMENTS (SEA, LAND AND AIR).
ENSTA Bretagne : formation et recherche en robotique autonome sous-marine

Robotics is a field of the future that reflects the multidisciplinary nature of ENSTA Bretagne.

Research at ENSTA Bretagne delves more particularly into the challenges of autonomous, mobile and underwater robotics: how can the robot be located? Monitored? How can a fleet of robots be coordinated? … in complex environments like the marine setting.

Multidisciplinary skills need to be brought together to tackle the issues encountered. On the one hand, physics of the marine environment, sensors, design of mobile platforms and programming are required to design robots. On the other, localization and control algorithms enable creation of their embedded intelligence.

The multiple scientific challenges involved in this work (robot autonomy, coordination, stealth, etc.) form the basis of numerous research projects at ENSTA Bretagne, for which it partners with innovative small businesses and corporations in France and abroad.

Research topics

Algorithm development for autonomous mobile robots used in physical environment perception (especially in marine environments) on both axes of the perception-action loop:

  1. Action in an uncertain and unstructured environment: Robust control, localization and planning (sensors, robots) through interval analysis, organization of drone swarms.
  2. Dynamic perception: Processing spatially and temporally distributed data, characterizing the environment and its uncertainty, capitalization.
