RoboCorp is a Laboratory at the Engineering Institute of Coimbra (ISEC), is a multidisciplinary group with researchers from several scientific fields, being currently directed by Ph.D. Nuno M. F. Ferreira. The Engineering Institute of Coimbra has established several partnerships with companies and industrial units in order to provide solutions for their problems. This concept of “technology push” has allowed many B.Sc. and M.Sc. students to have a higher number of contact hours in the fields of robotics, automation, control systems, computer vision, biomimetics and sports engineering. RoboCorp members are actively contributing in some of these projects.

The overall goal of this research group includes, firstly, the need to build skilled manpower necessary for strong scientific research and secondly, handling worthwhile projects that can be developed and implemented in national and international industrial units, opening new windows of opportunity and synergies.

Apart from outsourcing services, RoboCorp also organizes educational initiatives such as the ISEC Summer & Weekend School as well as other professional courses.

In short, RoboCorp want to contribute as a scientific and educational privileged vehicle. More than just a reference, our mission is to embody science while thinking beyond engineering.
