I obtained the B.Sc., Teaching Licensure, and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering at the Engineering Institute of Coimbra, the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Coimbra, and the Postdoc studies on Human Kinetics at the Faculty of Human Kinetics of University of Lisbon. Over the past 15 years, I have conducted scientific research on several areas, including robotics, computer vision, sports engineering, and others. This resulted on more than 50 articles in international impact factor journals, more than 70 articles at international conferences, 3 books, 15 M.Sc. students supervision, 4 ongoing Ph.D. students supervision, the general coordination of 6 R&D projects, and the local coordination of 3 R&D projects. I am currently an Associate Researcher at the Institute of Systems and Robotics and the co-founder and CEO of Ingeniarius - a company devoted to the development of robotic solutions and intelligent systems. When Ingeniarius was created in 2014, together with two colleagues, we led in the design of internet-connected solutions, which included not only laboratory robots, but also other smart devices, such as wearable technologies for motion capture and positioning. Soon I realized that I wanted to go back to my roots and further invest in the mobile robotics domain, though addressing challenging field applications, such as agriculture and forestry. This led me to succeed in the pursuit of both public and private R&D funding that would enable Ingeniarius to develop its own field robotics ecosystem, which the team succeeded to deliver.
