INESC TEC’s robotics wins two competitions at a National Festival

INESC TEC’s robotics wins two competitions at a National Festival

Researchers from INESC TEC’S Centre for Robotics in Industry and Intelligent Systems (CRIIS) along with elements from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) won two of the four senior competitions at the National Robotics Festival 2018 that took place in Torres Vedras from 25 to 29 April and was promoted by the Portuguese Robotics Society.

The Conde team (INESC TEC/FEUP), which is composed by Armando Sousa (supervision), Valter Costa, Peter Cebola and Pedro Tavares, won the Autonomous Driving Competition. This autonomous driving competition consists of a challenge in which an autonomous mobile robot must cross a route along a closed track that resembles a conventional road.

Robot @ Factory aims to recreate the difficulties that an autonomous robot can face when used in an industrial environment. In order to achieve this, a factory was recreated, consisting of a storage space, a warehouse for the finished product and also eight machines. The goal of the competition was to make the robot to move boxes between the warehouses and the machines in the shortest possible time. The 5DPO team (INESC TEC / FEUP) composed by Paulo Costa (supervision), Vítor Pinto, André Pinto and João Monteiro won this challenge.

This international scientific meeting aims to explore and discuss the latest trends in research and technology in the areas related to mobile robotics, promoting science and technology among young people, teachers, researchers and the general public, through autonomous robot competitions.
