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 May 12 to 16, 2025, Bernard Jurešić and Matko Batoš participated in field trials hosted by the Field Robotics South-Tyrol (FiRST) Lab at the University of Bolzano (UniBz). In collaboration with local researchers, they worked on the hardware and software integration of a custom ASV and LABUST’s H2OmniX platform with a focus on evaluation of the High-Order Sliding Mode Observer (HOSMO). Testing took place at FiRST Lab facilities and Lago di Monticolo Grande, offering ideal real-world conditions.
