Doctoral Network project IQ-BRAIN wins Horizon Europe Funding
IQ-BRAIN will be implemented by a leading consortium of carefully selected international partners with complementary expertise and skills in both qMRI and AI research as well as in training of researchers. The project will be coordinated by Prof. Jan Sijbers of the University of Antwerp and relies on intensive collaboration between twelve beneficiaries and seven associated partners, from academia to hospitals and industry, spanning a total of six countries.
ISR Project Funded to Detect Mars Craters Using AI
PT Space announced the winners of the 2024 PROSSE initiative and one of the selected projects, UNFORSEEN, iwas composed by ISR|Lisboa researchers. It aims to revolutionize crater detection on Mars using unsupervised deep learning, eliminating the need for extensive annotated data. Principal Investigator Margarida Silveira highlighted the significance of craters for understanding Mars’ geology.
MEROP team with the AMADEE-24 Mars Mission Simulation
The AMADEE-24 Mars mission simulation has been taking place in Armenia, managed by the Austrian Space Forum and hosted by the Armenia Aerospace Agency. A small field crew of highly trained analog astronauts conducted experiments preparing for future human and robotic Mars exploration missions.
MEROP team will participate in 2024 space simulation
A group of researchers from ISR-Lisboa will be participating in the AMADEE-24 mission, a space simulation expedition to Mars. The mission will take place in Armenia for a month. The researchers, along with analogue astronauts, will be working on improving teleoperation of remote rovers and providing astronauts with troubleshooting tools. AMADEE-24 is organized by the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF) and aims to optimize remote science support for planetary surface operations. This will be the 14th analogue mission to Mars organized by OeWF.
ISR | Lisboa integrates largest globally responsible AI consortia
Last Friday, January 20th, ten AI start-ups (including two unicorns), eight research centers, one Law firm, and Portuguese leaders in Fintech, Health, Tourism, Pharma, and Retail, got together at Unbabel to kick off the creation of the Centre for Responsible Artificial Intelligence ISR | Lisboa integrates this “Centre for Responsible AI “ which is one […]
RePAIR Project Meeting
Can robots be at the service of culture? When recovering artefacts at excavation sites, such as vases, amphorae, and frescoes, it is very common for them to be damaged by time. The EU-funded project RePAIR aims to facilitate this reconstruction process to bring ancient artworks back to life. A group of researchers from the […]

In the latest FCT Call for Research and Development Projects in all Scientific Domains, 630 projects were selected for funding, representing an investment of 74.8 million euros. The list of projects recommended for funding and the summary of the results of the call were made available by the end of the month of July. These […]
Control interface developed by ISR researchers tested in a simulated mission to Mars
The control interface for teleoperated robots developed by ISR-Lisboa researchers is currently being tested in an integrated Mars analog field mission in the Negev Desert, Israel – the AMADEE-20 Mars simulation. In colaboration with ISCTE-Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, ISR-Lisboa is responsible for the robotic experiment known as Merop (Remote operation of planetary ground robots using […]
Collaborative Projects with Industry under CMU Portugal Large-Scale Program
The Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program (CMU Portugal) has recently attributed an investment of 21M€ to research, of which 11.4 M€ come from the European COMPETE 2020 Program and from the Portugal Foundation for Science and Tegolechnology (FCT). Of this value, 6M€ are through the CMU Portugal Program at CMU while 3.5M€ come from participating Portuguese […]
