Sandro Augusto Magalhães

Sandro Augusto Magalhães

Sandro Augusto Costa Magalhães, Ph.D. born in Porto, Portugal, in 1995. In 2018, he graduated and got his master's degree in Electrical and Computers Engineering - Automation from the University of Porto, Faculty of Engineering (FEUP). His M.Sc. dissertation was entitled Trajectory Control for an Omnidirectional Robot, in the scope of the robot soccer team 5DPO from FEUP/INESC TEC. In 2024, he got a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from FEUP, with his Ph.D. thesis entitled Harvesting with Active Perception for Open-field Agricultural Robotics, funded by FCT through the Ph.D. scholarships program.

During his Ph.D. studies, Sandro Magalhães had an ERASMUS+ internship at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) in the Neuroscience Computing and Cognition Robotics group, researching topics for the optimization of AI algorithms using FPGAs.

He has been a researcher at INESC TEC since 2018 at the TRIBE Lab - Laboratory of Robotics and IoT for Precision Agriculture and Forestry. His main research topics are focused on challenges related to the active perception of fruit and other plant organs in open-field agricultural environments and manipulation strategies for agricultural operations. During his research experience, he has actively participated in various research projects that aim to identify the varieties of Vitis Vinifera using leaves' visual cues, such as the INCAFO project, or to identify unoccluded and occluded fruits under open-field environments, using planar visual cues, for precision monitoring using spectroscopy, in projects such as MetBots, PhenoBot, ROBOCARE and others.

Sandro Magalhães, Ph.D. is an Invited Assistant Professor at the School of Engineering, Institute Polytechnic of Porto (ISEP - IPP), lecturing laboratory classes related to circuit theory topics. He also co-supervised a couple of Master theses and some Bachelor projects.

He has contributed to the literature with more than 30 scientific papers related to the challenges previously introduced and 1 patent.

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.
