CRAS – Centre for Robotics and Autonomous Systems
Prof. Eduardo Silva
The Centre for Robotics and Autonomous Systems (CRAS) from INESC TEC conducts research and development activities in autonomous robotic systems, mobile robotics and multi-robot mobile systems for inspection, monitoring and mapping, with applications in security, energy, environment, aquaculture, oceanography, marine biology, resource extraction, among other sectors. These activities are supported by research in perception, navigation, control, localization, coordination, and automatic data acquisition and processing.
It has a 600 square meter free indoor area for robot development and test (including robotic soccer field, rescue and urban robotics scenarios, UAV, construction areas and other spaces). Additional facilities support the research such as dedicated micro-soldering room, PCB fabrication, machine workshop, and administrative support and research labs.
