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.
Dr. Barbara Arbanas Ferreira held a talk at the DroneDays conference on October 9th, 2024 in Zagreb, Croatia. The talk, entitled "Autonomous Multirobot System for Surveillance and Intervention at Sea – the MBZIRC 2023 Experience" introduced an innovative multi-robot system developed for surveillance and intervention at sea. At its core is an unmanned catamaran with state-of-the-art technology that works seamlessly with multiple drones. This synergistic approach enhances the effectiveness and scope of maritime operations, which include everything from environmental monitoring to search and rescue missions. The presentation highlighted the transformative potential of this technology for the advancement of maritime robotics. This solution is at the forefront of technological advancement and recently won the MBZIRC, one of the world’s most important robotics competitions.
