As robots become smarter, more autonomous, valuable for various purposes, and increasingly interactive with humans, novel and unforeseen challenges emerge. Making complex robotic systems easier to program and use, endowing robots with capabilities to operate in complex and dynamic environments or allowing autonomous robots to work in areas shared with humans are examples of problems that
need new tools and paradigms.
In two months, four events and several quilometres travelled by INESC TEC researchers, with different robots developed by the institution. The goal? To show both industry and students the latest innovations in research carried out by INESC TEC in the field of robotics.

“We have some of the best robots in the world” is not an advertising; it’s an international recognition granted to INESC TEC. The institution participated in FIRA – World Agricultural Robotics Forum, the main international event for agricultural robotics and autonomous solutions and reached second place in the “Best World FIRA Robot” category with the Modular-E robot. In addition, our researchers also won second place in the “Hackathon GDRA” competition, with a prize of €2.5K – after completing the challenge of developing algorithms to circumvent obstacles.
