Five days of trials are nearing the end, and Ifremer is proud to have hosted this achievement. All six vehicles brought by the project partners have worked flawlessly; the teams have accomplished a huge amount of work to integrate these vehicles into one single Morph system.
All objectives at this stage of the project have been achieved, and a milestone has been set in underwater robotics, running a heterogeneous fleet of autonomous vehicles – from 35 to 300kg – in a formation based solely on acoustic network communication and range detection.
Thursday evening all team members have then shown their individual diving skills! Today a week of trials come to an end, five long and hot days, people will leave tired but satisfied, and the community of this project has grown even stronger together.
