  5. Robotic Activities in Portugal • Mobile Robotics • Marine Surface Robots • PeopleMovers /CyberCars • Autonomous Wheelchairs • Rescue Robots • Advanced Manipulators • Aerial Vehicles Portuguese Demonstration of Robotic Technologies Jorge Dias

  6. IEEE RAS Portugal Chapter Promotes RTD activities IEEE RAS Portugal Chapter Promotes Education and Science Jorge Dias

  7. IEEE RAS Portugal Chapter • Members of RAS PT Chapter: • 67 people - 51 ACTIVE • 45 Members • 5 Graduate Student Members • 6 Senior Members • 4 Student Members • 5 Associate Members • 1 Affiliate Official Starting Date: 4 October 2005 • Official Board (2008) • Chair: Pedro Lima, ISR-Lisboa, IST, U.T.LisboaVice-Chair: Jorge Dias, ISR-Coimbra, DEEC, U.CoimbraSecretary/Treasurer: Isabel Ribeiro, ISR-Lisboa, IST, U.T.Lisboa http://ieee-ras.isr.uc.pt/ ieee-ras@isr.ist.utl.pt Jorge Dias

  8. IEEE RAS Portugal Chapter • PROMOTES Portuguese Activities in Robotics for: • RTD (supported by): • The Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT ) • (research inside Universities or research Institutes) • The Agency for Development and Innovation (ADI) • (industrial research and development in cooperation with companies and research institutions) • Educational (supported by): • Ciência Viva Program • ( promotion of science and culture) • Portuguese Society for Robotics • (association for development of robotics in Portugal) Jorge Dias

  9. Robot Soccer for Secondary School Students • Secondary School Level • Infrastructure • Differential motors (2 motors) • Infrared Sensors for detecting an instrumented ball • Contact Sensors for collision avoidance • Microcontroller for path and task control • Programming Environment Jorge Dias

  10. Robotic Competitions in Portugal Micro-Rato (Univ. Aveiro), since 1996 Festival Internacional de Ciência e Tecnologia, 1997 Festival Nacional de Robótica, ROBÓTICA 2001-08 Jorge Dias

  11. Robotic Competitions in Portugal Senior leagues * Autonomous driving * RoboCup Soccer, Middle-Size League * Micro-Rato and Ciber-Rato Junior leagues * RoboCup Soccer 2x2 * Robocup Rescue * Dance Endorsed by the RoboCup Federation Qualified teams for competitions Jorge Dias

  12. Conclusions • In recent years Portugal have a good level of activity in Robotics with: • Involvement in several European and international projects in robotics • Organization of relevant conferences (ICAR, IAV, RoboCup, …) • Organization and participation in Robotic competitions (including RoboCup 2004) and events on Science & Technology • Robotics at Industrial level are increasing with new spin-off companies from University and R&D Centers • In Portugal, robotic competitions have been crucial for promotion of education on engineering and technology • In this context , the Portuguese IEEE RAS Chapter is a crucial structure to support these robotic activities Jorge Dias
