About

Corentin Altepe is a researcher at the intersection of marine conservation, robotics, and citizen science. His work focuses on developing accessible, low-cost technologies to democratize underwater data collection and environmental monitoring. Altepe’s major contribution is the creation of the DocuScooter platform, a novel robotics system that enables scuba divers to systematically gather large-scale underwater data without specialized training. This innovation bridges the gap between professional marine scientists and the broader diving community, empowering citizen scientists to actively participate in conservation efforts. The DocuScooter project, with over 5 citations, has been recognized for its practical impact on marine ecosystem monitoring, addressing the critical challenge of scaling data acquisition beyond what single research teams can achieve. Altepe’s work exemplifies how engineering and community engagement can combine to tackle pressing environmental issues, making him a notable figure in applied marine robotics and participatory science.
