In this episode of Science Bits, we head to INESC TEC’s Robotics and Autonomous Systems Laboratory, at the Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto. In this laboratory, our researchers develop robotics solutions for complex environments – ranging from the deep sea to flooded mines. We’re talking, for example, about robots that collect information, map areas, or perform inspection and surveillance operations. How are these solutions developed? That’s what we’ll discover with the help of researchers Diana Viegas and Carlos Almeida, who will guide us on this visit.
