LORELEI-X
Long-endurance cooperative Robotic technologies for Localisation of targets during Emergency Incidents
LORELEI-X overview
The LORELEI-X project advances autonomous maritime technologies to tackle challenges in search and rescue (SAR), maritime safety, and environmental monitoring. A collaboration between CMMI, NTNU, and DTU under Horizon Europe, the project focuses on developing an autonomous carrier vessel and underwater vehicles (UUVs) equipped with fault-tolerant navigation, cyber-resilience, and real-time data processing.
By integrating advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD), structural design, and AI, LORELEI-X enhances efficiency and safety in maritime operations. The project also emphasizes capacity building and international collaboration, strengthening Cyprus’ research ecosystem while fostering ties across Europe. LORELEI-X sets a benchmark for sustainable, resilient, and economically viable maritime operations, contributing to safer seas in the Mediterranean and beyond.
36
Months
LORELEI-X is a 3-year long EU-funded Coordination and Support Action starting 1st October 2024.
2
Phases
LORELEI-X will be executed over 2 phases.
3
Beneficiaries
The project brings together a research institution from Cyprus, a Widening country serving as the project coordinator, with leading counterparts in Europe: one from Norway (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) and one from Denmark (Technical University of Denmark).
Objectives
1
To implement capacity-building and knowledge transfer activities to strengthen CMMI’s R&I capacity and skills in the field of autonomous marine vessel design and development.
2
To realise a R&I project focused on the development and validation of TRL5 of an autonomous carrier vessel for micro-UUV deployment.
3
To implement Networking activities to raise the reputation, research profile and attractiveness of CMMI and enable all partners to improve outreach at an international level.
4
To maximize the project’s impact through wide dissemination, communication, exploitation, and ocean literacy activities.
