Projects Description:
SEMFIRE (Safety, Exploration and Maintenance of Forests with the Integration of Ecological Robotics, http://semfire.ingeniarius.pt/) proposes the development of a support system embracing robotics and other innovative technologies, so as to reduce flammable material (eg, forest debris), thus assisting in landscaping maintenance tasks. SEMFIRE contributes towards reducing wildfire hazard potential, an application domain with an unquestionable beneficial impact at the economic, social and environmental level.
SEMFIRE addresses several relevant disciplines to succeed in fire prevention by benefiting from innovative technologies and novel ecological robotic approaches. The focus is placed in the development of a multi-robot system, combined with pervasive local positioning, multi-robot navigation and coordination in forests, and an innovative artificial perception architecture.
CORE (Center of Operations for Rethinking Engineering, http://core.ingeniarius.pt/), aims at creating and invigorating an R&D center, with focus on Intelligent Systems and Robotics. It aims at creating innovative proofs-of-concept, and industrial and commercial exploitation of knowledge from research promoted by a company, and two public education institutions with strong past collaboration, thus promoting technology transfer and knowledge sharing.
