This laboratory has a story. It comes from a project carried out between the School of Robotics and R.S.T.A. that is a company whose mission is monitoring, designing and promoting the marine and terrestrial environment.
In collaboration with RSTA the Schol of Robotics has developed the "ApptheIsland" app, a smartphone app for use in water and under water which allows an increase in the activities of snorkeling in the Marine Protected Island Bergeggi.
