ICT Robotics project "BugWright2" (2020-23)

Success for European H2020 ICT Robotics project application 'BugWright2' (9M€), led by C. Pradalier (CNRS, GeorgiaTech Metz). Chroma is partner and responsible of WP6.

• Title : Autonomous Robotic Inspection and Maintenance on Ship Hulls and Storage Tanks

• 1/01/2020 - 31/12/2023

• O. Simonin leads the Multi-Robot Systems work-package (WP6). Chroma will work on multi-robot planning and experiment under environmental constraints. The Agora team is also involved (H. Rivano, O. Iova) to work on robot localization based on the Ultra-WideBand technology.

• Funding for Chroma & Agora teams : 600K€
