10 Micro-Rato (Univ. Aveiro), since 1996 Festival Internacional de Ciência e Tecnologia, 1997 Festival Nacional de Robótica, ROBÓTICA 2001-08 ICRA2008, 20/05/200810Jorge Dias Robotic Competitions in Portugal

11 ICRA2008, 20/05/200811Jorge Dias Senior leagues * Autonomous driving * RoboCup Soccer, Middle-Size League * Micro-Rato and Ciber-Rato Junior leagues * RoboCup Soccer 2x2 * Robocup Rescue * Dance Endorsed by the RoboCup Federation Qualified teams for competitions

12 ICRA2008, 20/05/2008 Conclusions In recent years Portugal have a good level of activity in Robotics with: Involvement in several European and international projects in robotics Organization of relevant conferences (ICAR, IAV, RoboCup, …) Organization and participation in Robotic competitions (including RoboCup 2004) and events on Science & Technology Robotics at Industrial level are increasing with new spin-off companies from University and R&D Centers In Portugal, robotic competitions have been crucial for promotion of education on engineering and technology In this context, the Portuguese IEEE RAS Chapter is a crucial structure to support these robotic activities 12Jorge Dias
