Last Friday we welcomed a group of @istecnico.bsky.social alumni, class of 1969–1972.

Hosted by Prof. Isabel Ribeiro, the visit to #ISRLisboa included a tour of our labs and a drone demonstration.

A great opportunity to reconnect with Técnico alumni and showcase our research.

🔥 New interview with Alexandre Bernardino on how drones could change the fight against wildfires.

“Fires are more visible at night, and since aircraft can’t fly then, it would be an ideal time for drones.”
