The RESIDENT R&D program, initiated two years ago in partnership with IFREMER, is focused on developing and qualifying technological components for remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to ensure their long-term residency on the seabed. This innovative project aims to enhance the capabilities of ROVs for underwater exploration and research by improving their durability and functionality in challenging marine environments. The collaboration seeks to address the growing need for advanced underwater technology as industries increasingly rely on ROVs for tasks such as environmental monitoring, resource exploration, and scientific research. The program is set to continue its efforts into 2024, with ongoing testing and evaluation of the technologies being developed.
