The Portuguese Robotics Open (also known as Festival Nacional de Robótica)

had its 1st edition in 2001. The event has had an enormous growth since 

the 1st edition, both in the number of teams, participants and visitors 

and also includes an international IEEE conference where national 

an international researchers present their latest work in the field 

of Robotics (http://paginas.fe.up.pt/~ecrobotica2014/).

The 14th edition of the Portuguese Robotics Open will be held in Espinho,

Portugal, on May 14-18, 2014.  Espinho is a very pleasant coastal village 

with a Mediterranean climate, 15km south from Porto, Portugal. 

It has very good connections by airport, railways and highways.
