About Porto:
Porto is culturally diverse university town well known for its food and wine,
especially Port wine. It has strong connectivity to the rest of Europe and the
United States including non-stop flights to major destinations via a modern
airport and rail and road links. Designated as the 2001 European Capital of
Culture it has rebuilt itself into a major tourism destination for its
picturesque surroundings and vibrant culture. At the center of Maritime
exploration for centuries, Porto figures prominently in European history in
inspiring and initiating the Portuguese maritime exploration in the 15th and
16th centuries. The first school of navigation in the country was founded in
the city which has transformed into the University of Porto, and the nations
flagship Engineering school at the Faculty of Engineering (FEUP). FEUP provides
a rigorous academic environment with selective admission to applicants to its
undergraduate and graduate programs which feed into the vibrant startup
environment in the local area.
LSTS is the pre-eminent university level marine robotics laboratory in Europe
with a focus on space, aerial, surface and underwater vehicles for ocean
observation and surveillance. The lab works across the necessary disciplinary
lines of ocean science (biological and physical oceanography) and control, AI
and robotics and across geographical boundaries spanning Europe, the United
States and Asia.
