BluE
Project
Bioinspired Legged Underwater robots for Ecological monitoring and Exploration
Discover the BluE Project, a cutting-edge research initiative at the intersection of underwater robotics and marine ecology. The project aims at bringing the advantages of legged locomotion in marine operations by integrating a bioinspired Underwater Legged Robot (ULR) with fixed and mobile platforms for ecological monitoring. Emphasizing minimal environmental disturbance and enabling innovative operations, BluE aims to redefine methodologies in marine ecological research, advancing field operations and promoting sustainable approaches.
