About
Mathieu Lardeux is a researcher and practitioner working at the intersection of subsea robotics, autonomous systems, and offshore energy infrastructure. His work focuses on the development and deployment of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) for subsea inspection tasks, with particular emphasis on deepwater pipeline monitoring and the emerging concept of resident underwater inspection drones. Lardeux has made meaningful contributions to advancing the technical and operational frameworks that enable AUVs to perform complex, autonomous inspection missions in challenging offshore environments — work that carries significant implications for the energy industry's push toward digitalization, decarbonization, and cost-efficient asset management. His most cited work, "Unlocking Resident Underwater Inspection Drones or AUV for Subsea Autonomous Inspection" (2022, 15 citations), examines the value proposition of resident AUV technology against the backdrop of post-pandemic energy volatility and renewable energy transition pressures. A complementary study documents a landmark collaborative project between TotalEnergies E&P, Chevron ETC, and Oceaneering Subsea Robotics to develop AUV systems capable of full deepwater pipeline inspections. Together, these contributions position Lardeux as an emerging voice in the applied robotics and offshore energy technology community.
