Understanding the marine ecosystem is key to monitoring, evaluating, and managing its functioning. To do this, the scientific community needs data. The PLOME project will obtain it with an underwater platform that will monitor the ecosystems of the seabed for extended periods. A scientific team led by the University…
From the 15th to the 17th of March, our researcher Marc Carreras has been at the Oceanology International (OI22) exhibition. The event is the meeting point for businesses and academics of marine robotic technology. OI22 is a must-attend event for those involved in exploring, monitoring, developing or protecting the world’s oceans,…
During the last week researchers from VICOROB have collaborated with a team from Jacobs University within the EUMarineRobots (EUMR) project framework. The main objective of the EUMR project is to open up key national and regional marine robotics research infrastructures (RIs) to all European researchers, from both academia and industry,…
TWINBOT is a project that aims to develop a new kind of I-AUVs able to work autonomously in a cooperative way. The underwater inspection, maintenance and repair operations are becoming the main focus of the research in underwater robotics. Due to the desire of using small, autonomous vehicles instead…
From the 2nd to the 6th of March, a team of researchers and students of the Université de Toulon have been carrying out experiments at the facilities of the CIRS. These tests allowed them to collect real data regarding the dynamic behaviour of SPARUS AUV which will be compared with the…
The first Thematic Workshop called “Autonomous Underwater Intervention” took place on February 11th and 12th within the framework of the European project Deepfiled. Pere Ridao, Patryk Cieslak and Guillem Vallicrosa run the training in the Girona’s Science and Technology Park. During the event, both INESC TEC and UdG students…
This November, we board the vessel “Sarmiento de Gamboa” together with the CSIC scientifics, in charge of the scientific supervision and evaluation of the mission. From our side, we participated with our AUV Girona500, taking it to a depth of about 300 meters near the Palamós coast. The aim…
The Oceans’19 MTS/IEE conference took place from the 17th to 20th of June 2019 in Marseille, France. The aim of this conference includes the divulgation of maritime scientific and technologic papers, as well as the consequent networking between professionals and researchers in a wide range of fields related to…
