The objective of IA & Ocean is to develop the expertise and the national and international visibility of the lab-STICC at the interface between Artificial Intelligence and oceanic and maritime topics. This includes, taking into account the ocean as a complex system, with physical, biological and ecological interactions, as well as human activities (maritime traffic, coastal planning, marine resources, etc.). This general objective is structured around three specific research areas: AI & perception of marine environments (ROBEX, OSE, M3), AI & marine exploration (ROBEX, M3) and AI & oceanic and marine data (M3, OSE).
Our activities are characterized by a strong interdisciplinarity based on theoretical contributions in AI and their implementations in marine environments, in close interaction with other scientific and technological fields among offshore technologies, observations from space, physical oceanography, hydrography, marine ecology or maritime surveillance.
