Alfredo Martins' - Let's talk about diving

Alfredo is a senior researcher at the INESC TEC Center for Robotics and Autonomous Systems. He is also a Professor at ISEP Porto Polytechnic Engineering School in the Electrical Engineering department since 2003.
His research interests are in the areas of perception, navigation, control, and coordination of mobile robots, with particular emphasis on marine robots.
He has extensive experience in developing innovative underwater robots, with key participation in multiple international research projects from UNEXMIN/UNEXUP robots that broke the world record of flooded natural cave exploration to research projects for the deep sea such as the TURTLE robotic lander, or the TRIDENT project with the development of robotic tools for deep sea environmental impact monitoring. He is also involved in developing marine robots for offshore energy and leading the team developing robotics solutions addressing the recovery of lost fishing nets in the NETTAG/NETTAG+ projects.
He works in the application of the developed hybrid deep sea robotic lander technologies to ocean monitoring in the context of EMSO (European Multidisciplinary and Water Column Observatory), where he is the Engineering and Logistics Service group leader and member of the executive committee.
With vast experience in marine robotics, he has worked with autonomous underwater vehicles since 1998, with hundreds of hours of robotic missions in the field, and has an extensive list of publications in both underwater and surface autonomous robots.
