Students Present on World Robotic Sailing Championship

In June, the chapter participated in the second AFCEA student clubs meeting in Lisbon, Portugal. The Porto Student Chapter is located in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), in the North of Portugal. Due to the academic schedule, it was not possible for the members to be physically present, but the students prepared a video with a presentation that was displayed during the meeting. The presentation, made by Andre Ranito, Nuno Fernandes, Diogo Moreira and Jane Fraser, focused on the World Robotic Sailing Championship (WRSC 2016) held in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. The chapter was very active in the organization of the event. The goal was to highlight the importance of the implementation of a remote monitoring system of sailboats in competition and the automation of the process of classification of various competitions.
