This TNA project builds upon recent research accomplishments in the area of human-robot interaction underwater, by introducing wearable sensors in a form of a diver glove for controlling an autonomous underwater vehicle that serves as a robotic diving buddy.
To study mesoscale structures, such as gyres or eddies, that are formed in the south of the island and the impact they have on the primary production of phytoplankton.

Provide University of Toulon scientists with access to the necessary state of the art infrastructures enabling them to realise experimentations in order to estimate the hydrodynamic parameters of an AUV
The TNA will provide an experimental validation and demonstration of low cost, miniature acoustic transceivers providing a flexible multi-user positioning framework to support AUV and diver operations.
Benchmarking, in an operational setting, the use of teams of autonomous underwater vehicles to improve the oceanographic data collection while reducing the logistical overhead for the human element.
