Domain : Science Technology Healthcare
Mention : Complex Systems Engineering
Parcours : Marine and Maritime Intelligent Robotics - MIR
Department : UFR Sciences et Techniques
The Master of Science in Intelligent Marine and Maritime Robotics (MIR) combines robotics and artificial intelligence in an innovative way in the context of the development of marine and maritime sciences and their technological applications. It aims to shape skills for advances in sea-related fields, in particular in the implementation of autonomous marine and underwater robots with remote operating capabilities, and in the use of artificial intelligence in these fields.
The MIR consortium is composed of four main academic partners, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the Jaume I University (UJI, Spain), the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST-UL, Portugal) and the University of Toulon (UTLN, France) as coordinator. The network includes more than fifty associated industrial and academic partners, specialized in marine sciences, artificial intelligence and robotics.
The first year of the Master’s degree is taken in France at UTLN, in order to obtain a solid training in marine sciences, robotics and artificial intelligence, and to follow specialized seminars in industry. In the second year, students choose a specialization in Underwater Intervention at UJI, Autonomous Underwater Operations at NTNU, or Cooperative Robotics for Marine Vehicles at IST.
