The research focus in the Underwater Lab is on advancing the (semi-)autonomous capabilities of underwater robotic systems. This ranges from low-level navigation and control to higher-level tasks such as coordinating multiple robots for exploration missions, e.g. environmental monitoring. We study a wide range of scenarios, from tracking individual underwater robots or underwater manipulation to coordinating multiple robotic platforms, both on and under water.
BlueROV2
- Compact and powerful underwater vehicle – for inspection, research and exploration
- Precise movement in any direction – thanks to a vectorial thruster with eight propellers
- Can operate at depths of up to 100 meters – thanks to a high-resolution camera and powerful lighting
