Short Description:
The objective of VE.M.A.S.A project is the development of an "Autonomous Marine Vehicle" for safety and environmental monitoring. In particular, it will be able to:
- monitor a wide range of parameters relating to the state of health of the waters bordering our Region (as well as the “inland” waters, in particular lakes);
- perform visual and physical analyzes, with relative 3D reconstruction, using reverse engineering techniques, of coastal and landscape sections;
- perform marine patrolling and maritime rescue services. The idea behind this project is to create a prototype of this "Autonomous Marine Vehicle" able of navigating in open or closed waters, fresh or marine, in a remote, semi-automatic or automatic manner, driven by electric propulsion, powered by specific batteries, and integrated with a recharging system based on renewable energy sources (implementation of suitable photovoltaic panels).
