Description

INRIA has access to a 100 m x 100 m reconfigurable outdoor facility located at AzurArena in Antibes, ideal for conducting experiments involving Autonomous Vehicles (AVs), Autonomous Ground Robots (AGRs), and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The site can be equipped with a 4G/5G communication network, enabling real-time connectivity and coordination across multiple robotic platforms. Its open and adaptable layout makes it suitable for both individual and collaborative autonomous system testing.

What could be offered through this facility?

This facility supports a wide range of experimental capabilities, including multi-sensor data collection with AGVs and UAVs, sensor calibration validation, and the development of high-precision ground truth localisation using RTK-GPS. It is particularly suited for the testing, validation, and benchmarking of mobility algorithms, such as localisation, mapping, SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping), and navigation, in realistic outdoor environments.
