Expertise: Researchers at LSA have been involved in the last 16 years in fostering and growing a worldwide research community in the area of networked vehicle systems. LSA has experience in the development and deployment of advanced systems and technologies for oceanographic and environment field studies, security, transportation and sensor networks, in particular have field experience with autonomous and operator assisted unmanned air (UAV), ground, surface(ASV), and underwater vehicles (ROV and AUV) and participated in innovative field studies with environmental experts. LSA is a member of EURON (European Robotic Network), Actually LSA participate in the European COST Action ES0802: Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in atmospheric research. The LSA has more than 1000 square meters of work area, has a 10x6x5meter water tank for underwater robotics research and development, a 30x20x7m open space for trials demonstrations for mobile robotics and 300 m2 of research laboratories. Facility: The Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP) is one of the seven schools of Porto Polytechnic Institute (IPP). ISEP also has facilities that attract more than 6000 students, with about 500 faculty members to support it, in a campus with 50000m2. The Autonomous System Laboratories (LSA) has more than 1000 square meters of work area, has a 10x6x5meter water tank for underwater robotics research and development, a 30x20x7m open space for trials demonstrations for mobile robotics and 300 m2 of research laboratories.
