This talk will present the Italian interuniversity center ISME, established in 1999. ISME is composed by 9 Universities and has its background mainly in Systems and Control Engineering, Applied Mechanics and Computer Science. The activities of the ISME researchers will be presented trought brief overviews of some current and recent projects funded by National calls, the Italian Defense and the European Union.
Topics will cover, among the others, underwater intervention, multiple vehicles coordination for geophysical applications, asset surveillance.
