The ANERIS probe will consist of four modules, developed by four CSIC Institutes:
1) Sensor Systems : ANERIS -S, Sensors (Unitat de Tecnologia Marina, UTM)
2) Recollection System : ANERIS- B, Biology (Institut de Ciències del Mar, ICM)
3)Vertical Navigation System : ANERIS- C, Control (Instituto de Automática Industrial, IAI)
4) Intelligent Decision System : ANERIS- L, Learning (Institut d'Investigació en Intel·ligència Artificial, IIIA)
 
Sub-Project ANERIS-L
The objective of the subproject ANERIS-L is using the autonomous probe sensors data as input for an intelligent module  that will determine the best N depth levels at which samples will be obtained for each submersion.
Machine Learning techniques will be applied to data produced by probe simulations with the goal of acquiring a model for intelligent depth selection (IDS). This model has as input the optical sensor data and outputs the best N depth levels for obtaining samples.
