On July 13 2017, ISR-Lisboa had the twin celebration of the 2017 Summer Solstice and the commemoration of the 25th anniversary. The event also marked the announcement of ISR-Lisboa new FB page: www.facebook.com/ISR-Lisboa.
The event started with an explanation of the importance of Solstices for the scientific endeavour, the 2017 picture and a get-together to inspire and spark new ideas for the next academic year.
Research tends to bloom when there are opportunities to Get Together and exchange ideas. That’s why the Get Together Seminar Series by ISR-Lisboa ensures an opportunity to gather every month, not only within our community, but also with other LARSyS researchers, Técnico units and services, or industry partners.
An important step was taken in the continuation of the American educational project “Educational Passages”, which involved a collaboration between Instituto Superior Técnico the, Institute for Systems and Robotics in Lisbon and the Escola Azul programme, implemented by DGPM – Directorate General for Maritime Policy, with additional support from the company Transinsular. The project aims to launch small, unmanned boats equipped with GPS into the ocean, like 21st-century “messages in a bottle,” allowing their paths to be followed as they cross the sea.
Research, development, and innovation institution focused on Robotic Systems and Information Processing, since 1992.
