Projects an collaborations

• SOMOS (2024-2028):

  • Solveur modulaire et simulateur de navires à propulsion vélique (SOMOS).

  • AID project with ENSTA Bretagne, ENSM and Ecole Navale.

  • The aim is to develop numerical tools for rapid and accurate assessment of the performance of different (sailing) vessel configurations, as well as an operational profile and/or a maritime route

• LOTUS (2024-2028):

  • Learning From Operational Teaming with Unmanned Systems

  • funded by Naval Group Pacific.

  • Project with Karl Sammut and Paulo Santos from Flinders University and Andrew Cunningham from University of South Australia.

• SHIVA (2022-2026):

  • Optimisation and control of a marine cycloidal thruster,

  • funded by AID;

  • Project with Matthieu Sacher (ENSTA Bretagne) and Frederic Hauville (Ecole Navale - French Marine Academy).

  • The objective is to optimise the hydrodynamic performance of a 100% electric cycloidal thruster, with a wide variety of kinematics, by maximising the propulsive force and efficiency through a multi-model numerical-experimental approach.

• COCHON (2021):

  • Cooperative Control for Hazardous Occurrences in Navigation

  • funded by Thales in cooperation with IMT Atlantique.

  • Project leader.

  • The aim of the project is to propose new strategies for a rendez-vous in cooperative mode or non-cooperative mode.

• RoFiCom (2020-2023):

  • Robustesse et fiabilité de loi de commande adaptative funded by AID.

  • Project with Jordan Ninin.

  • It proposes a new simplified methodology to synthesise control laws for AUVs and maritime vessels, while providing mathematical guarantees on robustness, reliability, safety and performance.

• SENI (2019-2024):

  • Systemes Embarques Naval Intelligents

  • Common Lab between ENSTA Bretagne and Naval Group.

  • Project leader.

  • This lab objective is to propose new approaches to make UxV more efficient and smarter

• AID ERE (2019-2020):

  • Adaptive Control strategies for Marine Systems

  • with Flinders University

  • funded by AID Agence Innovation de Défense .

• CAM (2020):

  • Adaptive Control strategies for Underwater Autonomous Robots

  • with Flinders University

  • funded by Region Bretagne.

• NAVIDRO (2018-2019):

  • The project proposes a State of art and a simulator for the precise navigation of AUVs for hydrography.

  • Research contrat with SHOM in cooperation with UBO

  • Project leader.

• ECHOGUIDAGE : simulation of Locoregional anesthesia

• GNC algorithms for marine vehicles

• Optimization applied to Hydrography

• Global Optimization and Control

• wireless ECG is a project with HIA : prototyping an ECG system reducing the wires.

• Vaimos project is an autonomous sailboat collecting multidisciplinary ocean datadata. This is an IFREMER and ENSTA Bretagne collaboration. For more information, follow the link to the dedicated website;

• 3I Interreg project : Integrated Coastal Zone Management via Increased situational awareness through Innovations on Unmanned Aircraft Systems : website;

• BERISUAS (BEtter Response and Improved Safety through UAS), this cluster looks at possibilities to use Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for maritime safety to improve operational performance of response teams by delivering vital incident information.

• Underwater Robotics with Ocean University of China (in Qingdao)

• HWIL interface for sailboat robot

• Optimouss, a KISS ('keep it stupid and simple’) sailboat robot
