Gabriel Betton: Exploring the karst networks

Beneath our feet, in the darkness of the underground, a natural network spanning more than a third of France’s territory supplies drinking water to nearly 30 million people. But the quality of this vast freshwater reservoir is threatened by climate change and pollution. How can we explore these networks to protect the water flowing through them? Gabriel Betton, a PhD student at Lab-STICC, is working on developing a bio-inspired robot capable of navigating these networks completely autonomously.
