Igor Portis

Graduated in Biological Sciences from the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás - Brazil (PUC-GO), completed complementary formation in Biological Sciences for teacher training at Faculdade Araguaia - Goiás. Obtained a Master's Degree in Genetics and Molecular Biology, from the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), with a focus on Genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics in pathogenic fungi, has been working with Molecular Biology and mass spectrometry, with the aim of identifying proteins and pathways metabolic. After, the master's degree, worked as professor, teaching classes in higher education, in undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as in basic education, in the disciplines of Science and Biology. Currently is a PhD student in Agricultural Sciences at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto, whose involves the areas of precision agriculture, with a focus on Genetics, Molecular Biology, Transcriptomics, Metabolomics, Proteomics, Bioinformatics and Systems Biology. Mainly involved in the "Omicbots" project, in the analysis of genetic and molecular data for the development of equipment and software for precision agriculture.

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.
