The event has had an enormous growth since </div><div>the 1st edition, both in the number of teams, participants and visitors </div><div>and also includes an international IEEE conference where national </div><div>an international researchers present their latest work in the field </div><div>of Robotics (<a href="http://robotica2015.utad.pt/ICARSC">http://robotica2015.utad.pt/ICARSC</a>).</div><div>The 15th edition of the Portuguese Robotics Open will be held in Vila Real,</div><div>Portugal, on April 8-12, 2015. Vila Real, the capital of the Tras-o-Montes </div><div>province, is a sleepy university town set in a sea of rural tranquility. </div><div>The town is located 90km east form Oporto city. Vila Real flourished as a </div><div>result of the wine and port trade, which used to be headquartered here before </div><div>moving to Porto. Vila Real is well-placed to explore the little-visited </div><div>Parque Natural da Serra do Alvao, with it's lush valleys and towering mountains.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The Portuguese Robotics Open is currently an initiative of </div><div>Portuguese Society of Robotics.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Hoping to see you at Portuguese Robotics Open!</div><div><br></div><div>Kind Regards,</div><div>The Portuguese Robotics Open Organizing Committee</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><pre style="margin:0px;padding:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px;font-family:consolas,'Courier New',courier,monospace;line-height:16px"><pre style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px;font-family:consolas,'Courier New',courier,monospace"><font color="#CC9933"><a href="http://robotica2015.utad.pt/pt-pt/FNR" target="_blank"><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B0HO0_Le2FdsT2VnTmc5U3hHVGs&revid=0B0HO0_Le2FdsRmVTL1hHdVNTSytRMDAzRjgzZE1OODVxbU5BPQ" width="420" height="81"></a></font></pre></pre><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px;font-family:consolas,'Courier New',courier,monospace;line-height:16px"><font color="#CC9933">_______________________________________________________________</font></pre><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px;font-family:consolas,'Courier New',courier,monospace;line-height:16px"><font color="#0000FF"><br></font></pre><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px;font-family:consolas,'Courier New',courier,monospace;line-height:16px"><font color="#0000FF"><font size="4"><img src="http://www.avalente.utad.pt/images/UTAD.gif"> </font></font><span style="font-family:'arial black',sans-serif">Universidade de Trás-os Montes e Alto Douro</span></pre><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px;font-family:consolas,'Courier New',courier,monospace;line-height:16px"><font color="#0000FF"><br></font></pre><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px;line-height:16px"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><a href="http://www.avalente.utad.pt/" target="_blank"><b><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">António Valente</font></b></a></span></pre><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px;line-height:16px"><font face="'arial black', sans-serif" size="1"><br></font></pre><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px"><font size="1" face="tahoma, sans-serif"><span style="line-height:16px">Professor at <a href="http://www.utad.pt/vPT/Area2/Escolas/ECT/Paginas/default.aspx" target="_blank">UTAD-ECT - Escola de Ciência e Tecnologia :: Science and Technology School</a></span></font></pre><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px"><font size="1" face="tahoma, sans-serif"><span style="line-height:16px">Researcher at <a href="http://www2.inescporto.pt/" target="_blank">INESC Technology and Science - INESC TEC - Associate Laboratory</a></span></font></pre><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px"><span style="white-space:normal;line-height:18px"><font size="1" face="tahoma, sans-serif">Phone (+351) 259350372 - Fax (+351) 259350480</font></span></pre><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px"><span style="white-space:normal;line-height:18px"><font size="1" face="tahoma, sans-serif">e-mail: <a href="mailto:avalente@utad.pt" target="_blank">avalente@utad.pt</a> :: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000795583528" target="_blank">Facebook</a></font></span></pre><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px"><span style="white-space:normal"><font size="1" face="tahoma, sans-serif"><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px"><span style="white-space:normal;line-height:18px">web: <a href="http://www.avalente.utad.pt/" target="_blank">http://www.avalente.utad.pt/</a></span></pre><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px">CV DeGois:<a href="http://www.degois.pt/visualizador/curriculum.jsp?key=3451214442048433" target="_blank">http://www.degois.pt/visualizador/curriculum.jsp?key=3451214442048433</a></pre></font></span><span style="font-family:arial;white-space:normal"><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px"><span style="font-family:arial;white-space:normal"><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px;font-family:consolas,'Courier New',courier,monospace;line-height:16px"><font color="#CC9933">_______________________________________________________________</font></pre></span></pre></span></pre><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding:0px"><br></pre><br>
