Another role of this partner was be that of interfacing volcanologists with robotic engineers. This partner lead Task 1.3 of WP1 (Specific user requirements) and the Workpackage concerning the detailed specification and design scheme of the robot (WP3) and contributed to those aspects concerning system control in the other workpackages. In particular was involved in the design and implementation of the sensors for science subsystem, designed and implemented the localisation subsystem, designed traction control strategies and contributed significantly in the organisation of all the trials.
