The first Air Sea International Workshop 2026 will take place on 19 June 2026 at ENSTA Brest, France.
This workshop coincides with Submeeting 2026, a week-long hands-on event hosted by ENSTA Brest to celebrate the inauguration of its new Air–Sea Test Basin at Lab-STICC, ENSTA Brest. The workshop aims to bring together researchers and engineers working on air or sea robotic systems, with a strong emphasis on bio-inspired approaches, experimental validation, and European collaboration.
Invited talks will be delivered by distinguished European researchers, including :
G. De Croon (TU Delft, confirmed remotely),
N. Marchand (Gipsa-lab CNRS Grenoble, confirmed),
Antonio Pascoal (Lisbon, to be confirmed),
Massimo Caccia (CNR-INM, Genoa, confirmed),

Nadir Kapetanović (Zagreb, to be confirmed),
Maarja Kruusmaa (Tallinn, confirmed),
Pere Ridao Rodríguez (Girona, confirmed),
and more to be announced.
