Daniel Filipe Campos

Assistant Researcher

I am a researcher at the Centre for Robotics and Autonomous Systems (CRAS) at INESC TEC, holding a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (FEUP). My expertise lies in Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) for autonomous inspections in challenging scenarios using multi-domain data. Currently, I contribute to R&D projects focused on inspection methodologies for the O&M of offshore renewable energy plants. My research interests include robotics, 3D multi-domain environmental reconstructions, distributed perception, and collision avoidance in maritime robotics.

Robotics and Autonomous Systems

The Centre for Robotics and Autonomous Systems (CRAS) focuses on developing innovative robotic solutions for operation in complex environments. Each day, our researchers strive to map the unknown, creating solutions to explore the oceans’ depths, monitor the environment, or inspect infrastructures. Our goal? To become a global reference in robotics and autonomous systems, combining expertise in multisensory perception and 3D modelling, navigation and control, robotic manipulation and intervention - pushing the boundaries of autonomous robotics and integrating aerial, ground, and underwater robots into our solutions. Focusing on Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) between 5 and 8, CRAS develops prototypes and operational solutions for strategic sectors. Our laboratory infrastructure includes test tanks, prototyping workshops, and a wide range of equipment ready to operate in real-world environments. Our researchers also resort to Mar Profundo, a support vessel for testing and validating innovative maritime technologies - a key asset in bridging theoretical design and field validation. CRAS stands out for a practical approach: we combine advanced research with a strong focus on real-world applications, reducing human risk in hazardous missions, optimising operations and processes, and expanding the frontiers of autonomous robotics.
