PHD Development of an Autonomous Solar- and Wind-Powered Surface Drone with Foils for Long-Duration Ocean Observation(M/F)

EURAXESS hosting organisation · Plusieurs pays européens

The Sosud project focuses on innovations for sustainable and autonomous maritime navigation. It aims to develop a hybrid surface drone, combining robotic sail propulsion, electric motorization, and self-regulating foils to reduce energy consumption. The project leverages the expertise of LMGC, LIRMM, and IES, integrating simulation, robotics, and energy management. The thesis work will finalize the wing sail control and motorization, and carry out experimental tests. The goal is to demonstrate the platform's performance and efficiency, with strong potential for scientific and technological valorization Continuous and reliable in situ monitoring of marine and lagoon environments remains a major challenge for marine sciences and environmental observation. Existing autonomous platforms are of
