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.
From September 3 to September 6, two LABUST PhD students, Juraj Obradović and Luka Mandić, presented their work at the CAMS conference, which was held in Blacksburg, Virginia (USA). Luka Mandić presented his work titled Adaptive and Robust Direct Data-Driven Controller for Surface Vessel Navigation, where he introduced and applied an extension of the DeePC algorithm as the vessel controller. This approach aligns with the increasing trend of data-driven reference tracking in control system theory. Juraj Obradović presented his work titled Analysis of LiDAR-Camera Fusion for Marine Situational Awareness with Emphasis on Cluster Selection in Camera Frustum, where he introduced a method that integrates LiDAR and camera data for precise 3D object detection and tracking. In addition to presenting their own papers, this conference was a great opportunity for LABUST members to gather ideas for future research.
