- Strengthening Marine and Maritime Research and TechnologyPublication . Silva, Eduardo; Martins, Alfredo; Dias, André; Matos, Aníbal; Olivier, Augustin; Pinho, Carlos; Sá, Filipe Aranda de; Ferreira, Hugo; Silva, Hugo; Alves, José Carlos; Almeida, José Miguel; Pessoa, Luís; Ricardo, Manuel; Cruz, Nuno; Dias, Nuno; Mónica, Paulo; Jorge, Pedro; Campos, RuiINESC TEC is strongly committed to become a center of excellence in maritime technology and, in particular, deep sea technology. The STRONGMAR project aims at creating solid and productive links in the global field of marine science and technology between INESC TEC and established leading research European institutions, capable of enhancing the scientific and technological capacity of INESC TEC and linked institutions, helping raising its staff’s research profile and its recognition as a European maritime research center of excellence. The STRONGMAR project seeks complementarity to the TEC4SEA research infrastructure: on the one hand, TEC4SEA promotes the establishment of a unique infrastructure of research and technological development, and on the other, the STRONGMAR project intends to develop the scientific expertise of the research team of INESC TEC.
- TEC4SEA - A Modular Platform for Research, Test and Validation of Technologies Supporting a Sustainable Blue EconomyPublication . Mónica, Paulo; Martins, Alfredo; Olivier, Augustin; Matos, Aníbal; Almeida, JoséThis paper presents the TEC4SEA research infrastructure created in Portugal to support research, development, and validation of marine technologies. It is a multidisciplinary open platform, capable of supporting research, development, and test of marine robotics, telecommunications, and sensing technologies for monitoring and operating in the ocean environment. Due to the installed research facilities and its privileged geographic location, it allows fast access to deep sea, and can support multidisciplinary research, enabling full validation and evaluation of technological solutions designed for the ocean environment. It is a vertically integrated infrastructure, in the sense that it possesses a set of skills and resources which range from pure conceptual research to field deployment missions, with strong industrial and logistic capacities in the middle tier of prototype production. TEC4SEA is open to the entire scientific and enterprise community, with a free access policy for researchers affiliated with the research units that ensure its maintenance and sustainability. The paper describes the infrastructure in detail, and discusses associated research programs, providing a strategic vision for deep sea research initiatives, within the context of both the Portuguese National Ocean Strategy and European Strategy frameworks.
- TURTLE: Systems and technologies for deep ocean long term presencePublication . Ferreira, Hugo; Martins, Alfredo; Almeida, José Miguel; Valente, António; Figueiredo, António; Cruz, Batista da; Camilo, Maurício; Lobo, Victor; Pinho, Carlos; Olivier, Augustin; Silva, EduardoThis paper describes the TURTLE project that aim to develop sub-systems with the capability of deep-sea long-term presence. Our motivation is to produce new robotic ascend and descend energy efficient technologies to be incorporated in robotic vehicles used by civil and military stakeholders for underwater operations. TURTLE contribute to the sustainable presence and operations in the sea bottom. Long term presence on sea bottom, increased awareness and operation capabilities in underwater sea and in particular on benthic deeps can only be achieved through the use of advanced technologies, leading to automation of operation, reducing operational costs and increasing efficiency of human activity.
