Welcome to the Autonomous Systems Laboratory (LSA) home page.

LSA is a R&D unit from ISEP the Engineering School of Porto Polytechnic. It conducts research in autonomous systems and related areas such as navigation, control and coordination of multiple robots.The laboratory activity is developed in four lines of work:

• R&D programs
• Educational project
• Dissemination projects
• Strategic positioning projects for the school ISEP/IPP

MISSION

Articulate scientific and technological excellence to developemnt requirements in the emerging areas of security and monitoring, water management, oceans and environment (climate changes). To support and promote research and development leading to society new problems solving in a european, national or regional dimension.

We developed multiple land, air and sea autonomous robots ranging from the ROAZ autonomous surface vehicles, to the FALCOS unmanned aircraft systems and multiple land robots such as the soccer playing ISePorto robots or the LINCE autonomous rovers.

Laboratory activity also includes teaching support for school courses and consulting.
