Hydrographic projects have diverse needs, a growing magnitude and a high repeatability. Combined with the potential dangerousness of marine activities, these specificities have initiated a natural connection between robotics and hydrography. The MOQESM conference aims at strengthening that link by inviting experts experts of various disciplines to dialogue and synergize their knowledge. This conference will allow professionals to enhance hydrographers’challenges to share information about the last technological innovations and to start exchanging with specialists in robotics.
