Research missions presentation
Research contracts in industrial collaborations in the field of marine robotics and underwater acoustics.
The question studied is not "how does climate change affect the oceans?" but the opposite "how do the oceans act on the climate?"
To try to answer this question, the research work aims to improve the knowledge of ocean dynamics. By its surface and especially its volume, the ocean is a major actor of influence on the evolution of the Earth's climate. Measurements represent only a small part of the volume of the oceans and the sea floor.
In an attempt to better measure the ocean, research is focused on the realization of coordinated fleets of low cost robots capable of measuring the ocean 24-7. The main topics of study are the coordination and the ability to guarantee the execution of the mission. A second important topic is the dynamic modeling of robot groups.
