Team

Besides the group of professors of the Electrical and Computer Department of FEUP that launched the project, a group of students is also collaborating in the construction. The initial phase (building the model) started with lots of enthusiasm of 6 undergraduate students, but as the semester goes and the assignments and home works increase, the availability of the students (and professors) becomes significantly reduced. We hope that a complete platform ready for navigation will motivate interesting works in various areas and attract more students to the team.
