Caros Investigadores,

Bom dia.
Sugiro que antes de apresentarem a proposta falem com o responsavel do 
grupo do ISR em que se integram,
para uma eventual defesa da propriedade intelectual.

Boa sorte,

Dear Professor Almeida,

This month the IdeaHub launched the 2^nd round of our Robotics Challenge 
programme on behalf of ABB Robotics.

We are looking for robotics, software and machine learning experts and 
start-ups from around the world who could benefit from financial, 
technical or commercial support to develop their products and concepts.

We are seeking solutions within three key challenges areas of 
*Simplicity, Intelligence* and*Digitalization*, which can be applied to 
the field of industrial robotics.

Having read about the work of your team at Coimbra ISR, I believe this 
programme may be of interest to you or to others in your network. You 
can find out more at our website:
theideahub.co.uk 
<http://www.theideahub.co.uk/challenges?utm_source=VBRU00145&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=RAPh2> 

and also through the article we published on Robohub.org 
<http://robohub.org/ideahub-abb-recruiting-innovators-for-2nd-round-robotics-accelerator-programme/>. 

You can also find a pre-prepared press release with more information on 
the challenges at this link 
<http://www.theideahub.co.uk/press-release-short-010516>.

If an individual or team in your research group have a concept which 
meets any of these challenge areas, I hope this might be something they 
would like to consider or perhaps you might wish to share with other 
relevant researchers, entrepreneurs or startups who you feel might 
currently be looking for technical or commercial support.

*_The IdeaHub platform is open for applications until 30th June 2016. 
_*Successful applicants will pitch their ideas directly to a panel of 
senior ABB Robotics staff at an IdeaHub event in August 2016. There is 
no limit to the number of offers that might be made, which can include 
funding, access to robots, technology and commercial support as 
appropriate to the needs of their venture.

If you would like to know any more about us or the robotics challenge, 
or indeed are willing to offer us any further advice on how to reach the 
right people, my colleague Simon and I would be very happy to answer any 
questions via phone, email or Skype. Our details are below.

Many thanks in advance for your support.

Best regards,

Alex
