Abstract
LARSyS develops interdisciplinary research in Robotics and Engineering Systems, covering dynamical cyber-physical systems, human computer interaction and social-technical systems, as well as policy research dealing with uncertainty and risk governance. Our activities consider new horizons for knowledge with impact in ocean, urban, aeronautic and space, biomedical, and future working environments, as well as to stimulate new industry-science relations. For example, our researchers work to secure new mineral, hydrocarbon, and offshore energy resources in a way to help maximizing deep-sea exploration and avoiding negative impacts on marine biodiversity and food resources. They facilitate the use of advanced robotics and modern sensing technologies at 3000 meters deep, together with the necessary risk-preventing mechanisms and a web-based Observatory for participatory risk governance in South Atlantic. Also, we work in urban systems aiming to develop the necessary knowledge base to support a reduction of 20% of the water supply and 50% of the energy associated to the supply and treatment of the water and wastewater in urban regions. Lisbon region and Madeira Island will be our case studies, but the tools and pilots developed will be able to be replicated elsewhere. In addition, our research in aeronautic and space systems aims to help triplicating the amount of exports of engineering products and services from Portugal in the area of aeronautics and space in a time horizon of 2020.
