No cenário internacional, a RioBotz também teve papel decisivo na conquista inédita do Brasil na Robot Rampage World Cup, realizada em Auckland, na Nova Zelândia, de 19 a 22 de fevereiro. A seleção brasileira reuniu quatro equipes do país, incluindo a RioBotz, em uma formação conjunta inédita liderada por Matheus Amaral, ex-capitão da equipe da PUC-Rio. Após avançar até as finais contra os Estados Unidos, apontados como favoritos ao título, a seleção brasileira garantiu vitórias marcantes com protagonismo do Touro Feather, robô de 13,6 kg da RioBotz, que venceu três lutas seguidas contra robôs da equipe norte-americana para assegurar o troféu mundial para o Brasil.

“Esses dois resultados mostram a força do trabalho em equipe. Na IRONCup, foi preciso reconstruir o Mini Touro entre a semifinal e a final em apenas 40 minutos para colocá-lo novamente em condições de competir. No Mundial, vimos quatro equipes brasileiras unirem esforços em torno de um objetivo comum e vencerem adversários de altíssimo nível. São conquistas que refletem competência técnica, dedicação e, acima de tudo, espírito de equipe”, afirma Marco Antonio Meggiolaro, coordenador da RioBotz e professor do Departamento de Engenharia Mecânica da PUC-Rio.

Apresentação Seminário Inaugural da Pós 2026.1

Além de sua produção científica, o Professor Parise é admirado por seu espírito de mentor, de grande serenidade e simpatia. Orientou inúmeros mestres e doutores, muitos dos quais hoje ocupam posições de destaque na indústria e na pesquisa. Com sua visão e dedicação, ajudou a consolidar a PUC-Rio como um centro de referência nacional em sistemas térmicos. Esta homenagem reconhece não apenas suas contribuições acadêmicas excepcionais, mas também sua profunda influência na comunidade HVAC&R, inspirando gerações de engenheiros a buscar rigor científico e valores humanos.

The highest possible rating in this evaluation is CAPES Grade 7. Only programs that also offer doctoral degrees are eligible to receive this rating, and they must demonstrate excellence in all evaluated criteria. Grade 7 represents recognition of scientific production of excellence at the international level.

The Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering at PUC-Rio has once again achieved the highest rating, Grade 7, in the current CAPES Quadrennial Evaluation (2021–2024). Since 2007, the Program has consistently received the maximum score, demonstrating the sustained excellence of its academic standards. The Program trains master’s and doctoral graduates who hold prominent positions in both Brazilian and international industry and academia, while developing cutting-edge scientific and technological research.

This achievement is the result of the continuous efforts of our faculty members, students, researchers, and technical-administrative staff, as well as of an academic project focused on providing outstanding education to our students, conducting scientific research with societal impact, and maintaining strong interaction with industry in Brazil and abroad.
