Latest Highlights
ISR-Lisboa Presents Cutting-Edge Work at IROS 2025
This week, researchers from ISR-Lisboa are taking part in IROS 2025 – the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, held from October 19 to 25 in Hangzhou, China.
ISR-Lisboa Joins EU Project to Clean Up Space
Space debris, from old satellites to rocket fragments, is becoming one of the greatest challenges for the future of space exploration. To address this growing threat, ISR-Lisboa is proud to join an international research consortium developing an innovative, nature-inspired solution: gecko-based adhesion technology for capturing and removing orbital debris.
The Industry of the Future: Talk on AI Robotics and Services
The next session of the “Artificial Intelligence in Interaction with the Physical World" series is about "The Industry of the Future: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Services” is taking place on 3 October, from 5 p.m. to 6.30 p.m., at Técnico Innovation Center. Attendance is free.
1st Workshop on Embodied AI
The first ISR-Lisboa Workshop on "Embodied AI | Brains, Bodies, and Machines: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Embodied Intelligence" took place, highlighting the hot topic of harnessing AI, with a strong focus on how to tackle real-world challenges while exploring the powerful two-way exchange between neurosciences and robotics.
LARSyS Annual Meeting 2025
On July 14 and 15, 2025, the LARSyS community came together once again for its Annual Meeting, this time at the Pavilhão de Portugal.
More than 200 researchers and doctoral students from the four LARSyS research units - ISR-Lisboa, IN+, ITI and MARETEC - joined to share research highlights, pitch their thesis work, and generally strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration.
Paulo Tabuada’s Thought-Provoking Talk at ISR-Lisboa
June's Get Together at ISR-Lisboa featured a compelling talk by Paulo Tabuada, titled “Ask not what AI can do for control; ask what control can do for AI.” Returning to ISR during a mini-sabbatical, Paulo highlighted how control theory can help us better understand and think of the future of AI, from modelling neural networks to addressing societal impacts. The talk drew a strong audience to the EA3 auditorium and was followed by a lunch for registered attendees. It was a pleasure to welcome back one of our distinguished alumni.
We aim to catalyze positive change in human and societal systems, driven by a dual commitment: to advance the frontiers of both fundamental and applied science & technology and to train the next generation of experts.
