At LIRMM, about 30 scientists (researchers, engineers, postdoc, and PhD students) from computer science, robotics and microelectronics teams apply their work to the exploration and the monitoring of the aquatic environment, from deep karstic zones to the most remote oceanic areas, by developing innovative tools in collaboration with biologists, ecologists, archaeologists, hydrologists, chemists, or mechanics. The research is organised around these main topics:

• Microelectronic systems for tagging and monitoring marine species by satellite or LoRa communication, with in vivo measurement of physiological parameters.
• Algorithms for processing video or acoustic images by artificial intelligence for the identification of underwater species, for fish counting, or for the detection of underwater waste.
• Algorithms for automatic localisation and mapping from video and acoustic images in karst or underwater environments.
• Design and control of underwater robots dedicated to archaeology, biology, pollution control or navigation in confined environments such as drowned karst.
• Performance guarantee and operational safety of autonomous robotic systems for exploration or environmental monitoring.
• Redundantly actuated and variable geometry systems
