From the 2nd to the 6th of March, the facilities of the CIRS have been the stage for team of researchers and students of the Université de Toulon to carry out test and to collect real data regarding the dynamic behavior of SPARUS AUV. This data will be then compared with the data from the simulator they are developing in order to improve their predictions.
This action has been possible thanks to the Trans-National Access (TNA) offered by the European project EUMarineRobots. The main objective of the EUMR project is to open up key national and regional marine robotics research infrastructures to all European researchers, from both academia and industry, ensuring their optimal use and joint development to establish a world-class marine robotics integrated infrastructure.
