Response to disaster situations in contexts of extreme climate events drew on contributions from INESC TEC

Leveraging robotic solutions, data collection and processing, Artificial Intelligence and communications to address scientific and technological challenges – and, through these tools, making society more resilient; this is how one can describe the European project Overwatch, with INESC TEC as a partner. Over three years, the project contributed to the development of solutions designed for deployment in disaster scenarios characterised by extreme environments, e.g., wildfires or floods.

New robot developed by INESC TEC set to revolutionise logistical support in deep-sea operations

There is nothing like it in the world. The prototype is under development, with the first mission scheduled for May 2027 - where it will remain on the seabed for two weeks. But what exactly makes the new autonomous robot PETRA - Long-Range Deep-Sea Logistic AUV - developed by INESC TEC researchers so different?

Robots handling fabrics? INESC TEC leads the way with international award

Did you know that INESC TEC is developing a solution to make automated fabric handling possible? The paper Clothing Simulation in MuJoCo with the Evaluation of the Sim-to-Real Gap using Robotic Manipulation, developed within the scope of the TEXP@CT project, addresses one of the main challenges of robotics applied to the textile industry and received the IEEE Women in Engineering (WiE) Best Paper Award at the international ICARSC 2026 conference.

INESC TEC develops robotic solution to simplify industrial automation

Complex, expensive and difficult to program: this is how many companies still perceive industrial robots. The MOBOT 2.0 project, bringing together INESC TEC and Europneumaq, aims to change this paradigm and will develop a new generation of intelligent mobile manipulator robots capable of addressing real industrial needs.
