Laboratory prototypes
[LP05] Set of two 1U CubeSat Functional Mockups
with tri-axial IMU (accelerometer, rate-gyros and magnetometers), three
axial actuators via inertia wheels and active center of mass control,
Li-Po batteries and onboard Raspberry Pi2, and Android Uno processing
units. The prototypes can be operated for sensor acquisition,
calibration, identification, and Attitude Determination and Control

Cars, equipped with motion sensor packages composed by Inertial Measurement
Units, optical flow velocimeters, and video cameras. WiFi based communications
including to/from computers running Simulink/MATLAB. Swarm to be operated in
the ARENA ACCAII infrastructure, for ground truth purposes.
[LP03] Development of the Mobile Wheel Robot Torre composed by two differential drive pair of sets of
amplifiers and wheels, instrumented with a Microsoft Kinect RGB-D camera and a
personal computer.
[LP02] Restructuration of the class
of mobile wheel Robots Rasteirinhos, composed by two
differential drive pair of sets of amplifiers and wheels e a personal computer,
namely with the integration of instrumentation e.g. a Microsoft Kinect RGB-D
camera, an IMU, and a simple manipulator, for intervention purposes, 2012.
[LP01] Design and implementation of
a Four
Degrees of Freedom Anthropomorphic Manipulator, with analog and distributed
discrete-time control architectures, in October 1986 and October 1987,
respectively.

Next,
several tables with the detailed teaching activities along the career are
included. The organization of the information from a topic that covers a large
period of the career is organized in temporal reverse order. Thus, more recent
information appears fist. In
the tables where the pedagogical activities are summarized ,the following
columns are present from the left to the right, t: i) academic year; ii)
Semester (Spring/Winter), iii) Number of order [Raa] Responsibility on the
course (including teaching), [CRaa] Co-responsibility on the course (including
teaching), and [Tcc] Teaching on the course, iv) Name of the Course (when
taught in Portuguese, the translated name is included). If taught in English,
only the course name is present. In both cases, a hyperlink to a webpage where
the corresponding material can be found is included, v) Name of the degree(s),
vi) Number of the students attending the course and internal IST evaluation,
according to the QUC system, and finally vii) role on the course.
