At the start of October, 19 European students from 14 different countries (including Portugal, Spain, Greece, Romania, Austria and Turkey) came to Brest and the shores of the Lac de Guerlédan, for a 9-day seminar on marine robotics.
Eleven students from the BEST* ENSTA Bretagne association, accompanied by their robotics teachers, designed and orchestrated the event from start to finish.
This week's program comprised various courses on autonomous marine robotics, including a presentation of command and control systems and sensors, coding in Python, and hands-on workshops with the school's DD-boats (small robotic boats).
Among the many convivial moments, participants enjoyed a kayak outing, a hike and themed evenings.
The program concluded with preparation for the final exam in the form of a challenge on the Lac de Guerlédan and a visit to Brest.
It was a wonderful experience that was greatly appreciated by all participants! The BEST ENSTA Bretagne team is now focusing on organizing future events! (motivational weekend, Breizh’Storming)
