Our PhD student on underwater robotics and researcher in the PLOME project, Marta Real, did a research stay at Cardiff University this past spring. There, during the three months of her stay, Marta was able to develop a path planning algorithm to optimize the localization of underwater acoustic beacons using the AUV Girona1000. Marta worked
Last week, the annual Fisheries Science Seminar, organized by the Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) in Brussels, brought together experts and researchers in the field of AI applied to fisheries management. Ivan Masmitjana, a member of the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM), was invited to present research focused on the application of AI algorithms for analyzing
