PROJECTS - Labust

LABUST scientific recearch projects

Since its foundation, and particularly in the recent years, LABUST has taken part in many scientific research projects relating to underwater systems and technologies in various roles - as both partners and coordinators. This includes numerous international, as well as Croatian national projects, particularly those funded by the European Union (primarily H2020 and FP7) and Croatian scientific institutions, such as the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports or the Croatian Science Foundation.

Active scientific research projects

ADRIATIC

Funding: Office of Naval Research - NICOP Research Grant

ADRIATIC

The ADRIATIC project builds upon recent research accomplishments in the area of human-robot interaction underwater, by advancing the developed cooperative motion algorithms and introducing wearable sensors in a form of a diver glove for controlling an autonomous underwater vehicle that serves as a robotic diving buddy

BLUEMED

Funding: EU Interreg Mediterranean

BLUEMED

The BLUEMED project, funded by Interreg Mediterranean Programme, aims to support competent government authorities develop strategies, plans and policies for local coastal and island economies of the Mediterranean

CC - MARS

Funding: Bilateral collaboration between PR China and Croatia

CC - MARS

The goal of this project is scientific exchange related to the design, modelling and management of marine robot systems, especially Autonomous SUrface Vehicles (ASVs)

CroMarX

Funding: Croatian Science Foundation (IP-06-2016)

CroMarX

CroMarX is a project aimed at increasing the efficiency of maritime research and surveillance by using cooperative marine surface and underwater unmanned vehicles.

EUMarineRobots

Funding: Horizon2020-INFRAIA

EUMarineRobots

EUMarineRobots (EUMR) proposes an access-infrastructure for the deployment of a full-range of aerial, surface, and subsurface marine robotic assets, which will open transnational access to significant national marine robotics R&D assets.

INFRA-LAPOST

Funding: European Regional Development Fund - H2020: Twining and ERA Chairs

INFRA-LAPOST

The project will synergize with the H2020 Twinning project EXCELLABUST and significantly improve the Laboratory's research infrastructure by building a pool for conducting experiments and other needed research spaces.

subCULTron

Funding: EU Horizon2020

subCULTron

subCULTron aims for achieving long-term autonomy in a learning, self-regulating, self-sustaining underwater society/culture of robots in a high-impact application area: Venice, Italy.
