Pre-event: April 13th 2026
The purpose of the pre-event day (in video conference) is to present scientific works and contributions in the field of marine and underwater robotics, as well as maritime sensors.
It is open to all, with no obligation to participate or register for the week of experimentation. The morning will be dedicated to the presentation of general scientific work. The afternoon will be devoted to preparing for the five days of experimentation.
Registrations are closed. The presentation videos will be available soon.
