I am currently a Professor at FEUP and a Researcher at INESC TEC, within the Centre for Robotics in Industry and Intelligent Systems (CRIIS)
I am passionate about Education, and it is also a target of my research.
Regarding more technical areas, I do research in the fields of Automation and (Intelligent) Robotics, close to Artificial Intelligence.

My topics of research of activity are:

• Robotics
  • Data Fusion
  • Self Localization - mainly vision based (including RGBD systems)
  • Intelligent Robotics (robotic perception, etc)
  • Robot learning

• Automation
  • Industrial Automation
  • Real Time Vision Systems - vision systems as sensors
  • Event Driven Control Systems and Languages
  • Project in engineering, incl Concurrent Engineering
  • Control (process control by means of AI)

• Education (Higher Education)
  
  • Massification
  • Technologies at the service of education
  • Games for learning
  • Robotics for Junior Teaching
  • Ethics in engineering
