From June 5 to 8, Limerick, Ireland hosted the highly anticipated Oceans 2023 conference, attracting ocean enthusiasts from around the world. The event provided an exceptional platform for members of the PLOME consortium, including UdG, UIB, UPC, UPM, ICM, and Iqua, to showcase their remarkable works related to the project. Not only did the conference […]

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

Numerous advances have been made by the instrumentation and applied acoustics research group (I2A2) of the Polytechnic University of Madrid regarding the underwater communications system. The first version of the middleware has been developed which allows both local and remote connection to the acoustic modems, and provides a simple but robust interface for the clients.

PERSEO is an EU-funded project dedicated to train junior researchers from different fields, ranging from computer science to psychology, on how robotics impacts at cognitive and social levels. PERSEO is primarily based on the organisation of workshops, training activities and short-term schools in various locations in Europe. The 2022 PERSEO Summer School was held in

The past 15/06/2022 the Plome project was presented by the Systems, Robotics and Vision Group of the University of the Balearic Islands, on behalf of the whole consortium leaded by the Underwater Vision and Robotics Lab. of the University of Girona, in the EMRA-2022 workshop (WorkShop on EU Funded Marine Robotics and Applications), hosted by
