The UWIN-LABUST Research Group will be part of the Laboratory for Underwater Systems and Technologies (LABUST; https://labust.fer.hr/) at UNIZG-FER. LABUST has significant expertise in marine robotics, obtained through a number of capacity building and research projects. UWIN-LABUST aims to achieve excellence in the broad application of Internet of Underwater Things through three main strategic research domains: underwater sensor communications (underwater communication networks, underwater communication technologies, environmental sensing technologies), underwater acoustic signal processing (acoustic-optic Multimodal, sonar image processing, acoustic localization), and underwater collaborative autonomy (energy harvesting, low-power systems, collaborative operation).
The UWIN-LABUST Research Group will be led by the ERA Chair, Prof. Roee Diamant, Head of the Underwater Acoustic & Navigation Laboratory (ANL) at the University of Haifa that is a partner in the UWIN-LABUST project. ANL is focused on underwater acoustics and develops probabilistic and machine learning algorithms for marine applications.
