== Description and History ==

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://icarsc2016.ipb.pt/).
The 16th edition of the Portuguese Robotics Open will be held in Bragança,
Portugal, on May 4-8, 2016.  The district of Bragança is located in Trás-os-Montes,
in the northeast of Portugal, an attractive region known for its traditions,
handicraft, gastronomy and its landscape. The regions located in the north
part of the district, more cold and highest in altitude, are known as Terra
Fria Transmontana and present a landscape dominated by plateaus and mountains,
with deep and narrow valleys. More to the south, we find the region known as
Terra Quente Trasmontana, of milder climate, marked by the Douro river and the
valleys of its tributary rivers. In this region you can visit the Natural Park
of Montesinho, the International Douro Park or the Protected Landscape of Azibo,
where you can be marvel at the scenery with a diverse flora and fauna.
It has very good connections by airport and highways.

The Portuguese Robotics Open is currently an initiative of
Portuguese Society of Robotics.


Hoping to see you at Portuguese Robotics Open!

Kind Regards,
The Portuguese Robotics Open Organizing Committee
