FRIENDS (Fleet of dRones for radIological inspEction, commuNication anD reScue) is a project of research and development that addresses the quick characterization of the geographic extent of radiological contamination by a fleet of drones equipped with advanced technologies of sensors.
After receiving an email about a robotics themed thesis I replied asking if there were any opportunities in the same area but for a second-year student. Luckily the reply was about FRIENDS.
I joined the team and started to work alongside professors Alberto Vale, Rodrigo Ventura and Luís Pinto. My main task is related to the building of the drones as well as technical work!
