Quatro pesquisadores do Departamento de Ciências da Computação da UFMG (DCC/UFMG) e especialistas em veículos robóticos. Os Professores Mario Campos, Douglas Macharet, Luiz Chaimowicz e Erickson R. Nascimento estarão apresentando dois minucursos de 10 horas cada e o Prof. Mario vai dar uma palestra sobre a experiência do grupo em projetos relacionados com os temas da EARTH.
O programa de pós-graduação em computação do DCC/UFMG é Nível 7 pela avaliação da Capes, o mais alto nível possível e conferido apenas a pouquíssimos programas no Brasil. Confira o perfil dos professores e veja o programa dos minicursos.
– Mário F. Montenegro Campos
Mario Fernando Montenegro Campos, Ph.D., is a Professor of Computer Vision and Robotics in the Department of Computer Science at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He holds B.S. degrees in Engineering, and M.S. in Computer Science, all from UFMG, and a Ph.D. in Computer and Information Science from the University of Pennsylvania, USA. His research interests include cooperative robotics, robot vision, sensor information processing, in which areas he has published over 250 papers in both qualified journals and conferences. He has supervised over 60 thesis and dissertations, and his main contributions are in haptics, multirobot cooperation, aerial robotics and robot vision. He is the founder of the Vision and Robotics Lab — VeRLab, UFMG, Brazil. He has close collaborartion with researchers from US and Europe sponsored by Brazilian and foreign agencies, and has coordintated and participated in several R&D projects with industry partners such as Petrobras, Vale, Engetron, LG Electronics, ABC Bull, and CEMIG.He has been a Distinguished Lecturer in the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, and is currently the Vice-Provost for Administration of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Douglas G. Macharet is currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science (DCC) at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). He received a M.Sc. and a D.Sc. degree in Computer Science from the same university in 2009 and 2013, respectively. He is with the Computer Vision and Robotics Laboratory (VeRLab), and his main research interests are in mobile robotics, focusing on localization, mapping, path planning for nonholonomic robots, multirobots systems and human-robot interaction.
Luiz Chaimowicz is an Associate Professor at the Computer Science Department of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) and currently the head of its Graduate Program in Computer Science. He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from UFMG in 2002, and from 2003 to 2004, he held a Postdoctoral Research appointment in Robotics with the GRASP Laboratory – University of Pennsylvania. Since 2006 he has a Research Fellowship from CNPq, awarded to productive researchers. He co-directs UFMG’s Computer Vision and Robotics Laboratory (VeRLab) and the Multidisciplinary Research Laboratory in Digital Games (J), and conducts research on several aspects of artificial intelligence, mobile robotics, and digital games. His recent research in robotics focuses on the coordination and control of groups of robots, especially robotic swarms, in tasks such as exploration, localization and segregation.
