Research
Our mission is to enable the widespread use of intelligent robots to serve society, by enabling them to better understand their environment and react optimally to a variety of situations.
Our research covers several key areas:
- Inspection and Maintenance: Improving the sustainability of critical infrastructures through monitoring missions on power lines, dams and aeronautical structures.
- Safety and Surveillance: Contributing to search and rescue missions, driver assistance, space exploration, and monitoring of events such as forest fires, floods and avalanches.
- Conservation: Ensuring the preservation of ecosystems by monitoring endangered and invasive species, as well as mapping forests, seabeds and glaciers.
