Underwater Robotics:
Robots for Karstic Exploration (RKE)
The RKE initiative aims at conceiving, designing and engineering intelligent and practical robotic systems (i.e. Sensors System with Controlled Mobility) to explore/inspect underwater confined environment. As generic case studies, the project focuses on karst exploration and hydraulic galleries inspections. This initiative is implemented with different projets:
Aleyin project : Autonomous Systems for Karst Exploration (2015-2019)
- Project leader: Lionel Lapierre (LIRMM, Explore team)
- Partners: LIRMM, IES, IMAG, HSM (Hydro Sciences Montpellier), EDF, BRGM, PLONGEESOUT
