Industrial Robotics presented to students in Vila Real

On May 10, Luís Santos, Pranjali Shinde and Jorge Mendes, collaborators of INESC TEC’s Centre for Robotics and Intelligent Systems (CRIIS), participated in an event designed to high school students, in order to present the work of the University, namely in the application of technology in real contexts.

Raul Morais, Professor at the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD) and researcher of CRIIS, alongside Filipe Santos, also a researcher of CRIIS, promoted this initiative, which intended to present robotic projects particularly related to smart agriculture, namely the ROMOVI project, in order to also attract young students to this multidisciplinary area.

This initiative, which was organised by the pole of INESC TEC/CRIIS at UTAD and by UTAD itself under the activities of the Open University, was attended by approximately 200 students from the Secondary Schools of Penafiel.
