Biographical Sketch
Jose Santos-Victor (1965) is an Assistant Professor at the Instituto Superior Tecnico (IST), Lisbon and a researcher at the Instituto de Sistemas e Robotica (ISR). He has founded the Computer Vision Lab (VisLab) at IST/ISR. His main research topics are Computer Vision and Robotics with an emphasis on Vision based navigation and the relationship between visual perception and action. He was the principal investigator in a number of national and international R&D projects in the areas of Computer Vision and Robotics. He was the principal investigator for the participation of IST in various international research projects (NARVAL, Omniviews, Mirror, SMART, etc)

IST/ISR – Instituto Superior Técnico (Instituto de Sistemas e Robótica)
The Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) is the largest and oldest engineering school in Portugal, with a large record of participation in international researcher projects. At the research level, the work described in this project will be carried out at the Computer Vision Lab (VisLab) of the Instituto de Sistemas e Robótica (ISR).

ISR is a national research organization established in 1991 involving a total of 127 scientists, 61 of which hold a PhD degree. ISR is an institution that intervenes in the areas of Computer Vision, Robotics, Automation, Control, Signal Processing, Aeronautics, Physical Acoustics and Energy Management and Production, with an emphasis on Systems Theory. It comprises 3 laboratories: Lisbon, Porto and Coimbra. The Lisbon laboratory is integrated in the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST).

The VisLab has been involved in various research projects in areas related to Computer Vision and Robotics. It has solid expertise in several problems, particularly in the areas of vision based control, active vision and vision-based navigation. The group has been involved in a number of projects where principles of biological vision systesm (e.g insect vision) have been studied and applied in the context of robotics and vision, in general.
