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 the heart of the Atlantic, INESC TEC co-organised another WAVES workshop, dedicated to advanced research vehicles. In the “Windy City,” the Institute’s researchers also had the opportunity to showcase INESC TEC’s expertise in marine robotics.

We all know that microplastics have an impact on organisms and marine ecosystems; however, there is still scientific work to be done in assessing their real impact, and for that, we need tools that allow the collection and assessment of new environmental data, towards advancing scientific knowledge about how microplastics affect plankton and ecosystems.
