Hi, my name is Ricardo Sousa. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computers Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto. My main interests are robotics, mobile robots, control systems, and programming. I believed that robotics can help society to increase the efficiency in industrial processes, helping to implement precision agriculture, as well as working side by side with persons. Therefore, I am extremely interested in contributing to the scientific community in areas such as localization and mapping, sensor fusion, perception, and calibration of sensory systems.
