Cláudia Daniela Rocha

I hold a Master degree in Bioengineering with specialization in Biomedical Engineering from Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal. I landed a thesis proposal where I had to develop an autonomous robotic system with the ability to reproduce repetitive tasks in a lab environment. During the degree, the passion for applied robotics emerged, so I decided to pursue it in order to integrate and further improve the knowledge in areas such as mechanics, electronics, computer science and biomedics. I joined the CRIIS group which belongs to INESC TEC, in September 2016 as a R&D engineer with responsibilities in developing new robotic solutions to handle industrial problems. My main activities include system mechanical modelation, electronics and software development.

PRODUTECH_SIF

The umbrella project “programa mobilizador PRODUTECH SIF – Soluções para a Indústria do Futuro” (Solutions for the Industry of the Future) embodies a comprehensive response towards the development and implementation of new production systems, embedding advanced production technologies, that will equip the manufacturing industry to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 4th industrial revolution. It incorporates a strategic, coherent and integrative set of R&D activities in key domains that foresees the development of new production technologies for multi-sectorial application, and with impacts in terms of the reinforcement of the competitiveness and sustainability of the industry at international level, encompassing: - Networked production systems - Innovative technologies for new cyber-physical production systems - Development, management and improvement of cyber-physical production systems - Key enabling production technologies, automation and advance robotic systems - Integral sustainability and efficiency of production systems - Energy technologies - Advanced tools for the development of products and services The umbrella PRODUTECH SIF incorporates a research and innovation agenda, for production technologies, cyber-physical systems and industry transformation. It embodies the combined efforts from actors of the industrial fabric and research and innovation system, gathering a critical mass for the effective development and deployment of advanced knowledge and technologies, which will be transferred and assimilated by industrial companies, and deployed in innovative products and services (production technologies), embedding advanced solutions. As such, it foresees the technology creation, acceleration, transfer and demonstration of developed solutions in reference companies from user sectors, towards its effective diffusion, valorisation and adoption by industry. The PRODUTECH SIF umbrella stems from the confluence of R&D +I(nnovation) +D(emonstration and diffusion) axes of the Production Technologies Cluster multi-annual programme and gather a consistent set of activities towards the above mentioned goal.

Robotics in Industry and Intelligent Systems

At the Centre for Robotics and Intelligent Systems, we develop innovative solutions to leverage robotics in the industrial, agricultural, and forestry contexts, driving the digital transformation of the industry. We take a practical approach - from design to deployment - to test the navigation and localisation of mobile robots, explore advances in 2D/3D industrial vision and advanced detection, while also focusing on industrial and collaborative robotics, as well as human-robot interfaces. Our TRIBE LAB is fertile ground for innovative ideas about the agriculture of the future; we develop prototypes and promote excellence in agricultural robotics and IoT technology: with prototypes, advanced sensors (LiDAR, AI cameras), and rapid prototyping tools, we accelerate the development of solutions for the agroforestry sector. We are also present at the iiLab, where we combine applied research, technological demonstration, and controlled environment testing, promoting the integration of emerging technologies into industry. From intelligent robotic cells and cyber-physical systems to data analysis and AI, it is an innovation space where companies can experiment with and validate solutions for the factory of the future. With a multidisciplinary team, and following European agendas, our research work combines fundamental science and application, impacting the design of solutions for Industry 4.0, fostering competitiveness and the digital transformation of the sector.
