Localisation Approaches for Underwater Autonomy within the EUMarineRobots H2020 project: experimental activity at SEALab

Abstract

Localisation Approaches for Underwater Autonomy (LAUA) is one of the Transnational Access (TNA) projects supported within EUMarineRobots (EUMR). The project involved the Jacobs University of Bremen and the Interuniversity Centre of Integrated Systems for the Marine Environment (ISME), with the participation of the University of Florence and University of Pisa as ISME nodes. LAUA aims to investigate and compare the performance of different localisation techniques in marine robotics, with the final goal to apply them in a scenario for the geo-localisation of CO2 bubbles’ sources. This work details the experimental data acquisition campaign conducted in October 2020, in La Spezia, and presents the collected data. A link to an online folder containing the data is shared and some localisation results are shown.
