During the month of March several functional tests were carried out to integrate the Middleware in the AUVs to perform range measurements. The tests were carried out at sea by the UPG team and the results were totally satisfactory. The Middleware has also been improved and the commands to exchange information between devices have been …
From 7/03/2023 to 10/03/2023 the Marine Robotics team of the Systems, Robotics and Vision group (University of the Balearic Islands) has carried out the last data gathering campaign in the Cabrera Maritime and Terrestrial National Park, corresponding to the projects INVHALI and DETECPOS, both shared with IMEDEA. The project INVHALI is focused on the detection …

An assessment of the technological requirements has been carried out for ecological monitoring, in marine protected areas of a fishery resource relevant to the European Community, the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus THE NAME IN ITALICS!). We propose that state-of-the-art fixed and mobile equipment, such as robotics platforms (autonomous underwater vehicles, crawlers, and biomimetic legged robots), equipped …

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.
