Data-driven Robotics for Environment Assessment and Monitoring (DREAM) is focused on long-term observation of large-scale environment with complex spatiotemporal dynamic. To this end, it has a recognized expertise on robotics, image processing, machine learning, mechatronic design and most topics required to develop and evaluate robotic and automation systems.
This expertise is currently applied in a set of research streams that will be continued in the next five years: the use of robotic and automation for natural environments monitoring, the development of autonomous systems for natural environment, the development of robotic solutions for structure inspection, and the use of Artificial Intelligence for automation in environment science applications.
The main strength of the robotic groups lies in its well-recognized expertise in France and Europe, its breadth of scientific knowledge covering the complete development chain for robotic systems and creating interdisciplinary opportunities, its network of collaborators and wealth of on-going projects.
