# Science Fun: Archaeologist robots at the Montpellier herbarium
Welcome to the program co-produced by the University of Montpellier and Divergence-FM, which takes you on a cruise through the laboratories of the Muse archipelago. And for this first program, Vincent Creuze from Lirmm talks to us about archaeologist robots, and Caroline Loup gives us a tour of Montpellier's herbarium.
Today, we invite you to dive with us 120 meters below the surface into the dark waters of the Bay of Biscay, where adventure navigates between robotics and archaeology. Our guest today is Vincent Creuze. He is a robotics engineer at the Montpellier Laboratory of Computer Science, Robotics and Microelectronics (Lirmm). Last July, he took part in a preventive archaeology mission with Basile, his underwater robot, and he tells us all about it in La Science s'aMuse.
In the second part of the program, the reportage segment En salle des machines (In the Engine Room) takes you on a tour of an unusual place. This week, Caroline Loup opens the doors to the Montpellier Herbarium.
Finally, Amrin Nagamia will join us for his column on start-up news, and today's star is Bulane, a company that is taking on the challenge of turning water into fire.
