LABUST has taken part in many scientific research projects relating to underwater systems and technologies in various roles. This includes numerous international (FP7, H2020, ONRG, INTERREG,...) as well as national projects.
As part of the ROADMAP project, our members Vladimir Slošić and Luka Mandić visited project partners at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute in Auckland, New Zealand for field trials. The trials primarily focused on data collection for precise underwater localization, while monitoring diver vital signs. Divers, equipped with the underwater drone in their hands, were monitored using various sensors while swimming in common diving patterns underwater. Data collected from three divers will be used to correlate the swimming patterns to the diver's movement to achieve better swimming models of the human body.
