Laboratory for Robotics and Engineering Systems

The Interactive Technologies Institute co-founded the Laboratory for Robotics and Engineering Systems (LARSyS), funded through the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation (FCT).

LARSyS brings together a research collaboration of four research centres: the Interactive Technologies Institute, the Institute for Systems and Robotics of Lisbon (ISR-Lisboa), the Center for Innovation, Technology and Policy Research (IN+), and the Marine, Environment and Technology Center (MARETEC)

Team-based research at LARSyS is fostered by thematic areas, much like ITI, which allows for the exploitation of synergies, resources, and organizations in the various centres to explore new frontiers of knowledge in emerging topics.

LARSyS offers complementary and multidisciplinary competencies to tackle several cutting-edge research challenges structured in 5 Thematic Areas:

  • OCEANS
  • URBAN
  • AIR
  • LIFE
  • INTERACTION
