# La Science s'aMuse: Robot archaeologists 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. In this first program, Vincent Creuze from Lirmm talks about archaeology robots and Caroline Loup takes us on a tour of the Montpellier herbarium.
Today, we invite you to dive with us 120 meters into the dark waters of the Bay of Biscay, where adventure meets robotics and archaeology. Our guest today is Vincent Creuze. He is a roboticist at the Laboratoire d'informatique, de robotique et de microélectronique de Montpellier (Lirmm). Last July, he took part in a preventive archaeology mission with Basile, his underwater robot, and tells us all about it in La Science s'aMuse.
In the second half of the show, the "In the engine room" sequence takes you on a tour of an unusual place. This week, Caroline Loup opens the doors of the Montpellier Herbarium.
Last but not least, Amrin Nagamia joins us for her column on start-up news, and the star of the day is Bulane, a company taking up the challenge of turning water into fire.
