Research & Development

Quantum Computing, Blockchain, IoT, Robotics, Energy & Climate — towards Industry 4.0 and 5.0

Applied research in emerging technologies

Our R&D team continuously explores emerging technologies and builds prototypes and proof-of-concepts to validate them in the real world. We work within the frameworks of Industry 4.0 — automation, connectivity and data-driven manufacturing — and Industry 5.0, which puts people, sustainability and resilience back at the centre.

Quantum Computing

We research quantum algorithms and applications for the use cases where they can give a real advantage (optimization, simulation, cryptography).

Blockchain & Distributed Ledger Technologies

We explore innovative applications of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs beyond the hype, focusing on real-world utility.

IoT & Industry 4.0

We develop connected device ecosystems, digital twins and IoT platforms for real-time monitoring and intelligent automation — the pillars of the connected factory and Industry 4.0.

Robotics & Human-Machine Interaction

We design advanced robotic systems based on ROS and collaborative automation solutions. In an Industry 5.0 perspective, technology adapts to the human operator — not the other way around.

Energy, Climate & Sustainability

We research renewable energy technologies, climate monitoring and sustainable transition — the third pillar of Industry 5.0 alongside human-centricity and resilience.

Quantum Algorithms

We research and develop quantum algorithms for optimization, simulation, and cryptography that will leverage the power of quantum computers.

Smart Contracts

We design and implement secure, efficient smart contracts for various blockchain platforms to enable trustless automation.

IoT Platforms & Digital Twins

We design scalable IoT platforms and digital twins that connect physical devices to their virtual models, enabling predictive simulation and intelligent decision-making.

Edge Computing

We develop edge computing solutions that process data closer to its source, reducing latency and bandwidth usage for IoT applications.

Autonomous Systems

We develop autonomous robotic systems with advanced perception, navigation, and decision-making capabilities to operate in complex environments.

Human-Robot Interaction

We create intuitive and safe interfaces for human-robot collaboration — cobots and adaptive systems that put the operator at the centre, as envisioned by the Industry 5.0 paradigm.

Renewable Energy

We design innovative systems for renewable energy generation, storage, and management, contributing to sustainable energy transition.

Climate Monitoring

We develop advanced technologies for environmental monitoring and climate data analysis, supporting effective adaptation and mitigation strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you collaborate with universities and research centers?

We have active partnerships with various academic institutions and research centers. We participate in joint research projects, share resources and expertise, host students for internships and theses, and collaborate on scientific publications. These collaborations keep us in step with research on emerging technologies.

How do you handle intellectual property in R&D?

We take a flexible approach to intellectual property. For proprietary projects, we implement rigorous procedures for patent protection and know-how. For Open Source projects, we actively contribute to the community while maintaining transparency and code sharing. In all cases, we clearly define intellectual property rights at the start of each collaboration.

What are your main research areas?

We focus on several emerging technology areas within the Industry 4.0 and 5.0 context: quantum computing for complex optimization problems, blockchain and smart contracts for secure automation, IoT, digital twins and edge computing for the connected factory, collaborative robotics and human-machine interaction, renewable energy technologies, sustainability and climate monitoring. We maintain a strong focus on security, scalability and human-centricity.

How do you transfer research results into commercial products?

Our technology transfer process includes: validation of research results, development of proof-of-concept prototypes, testing with pilot users, optimization for scalability and performance, and continuous support during implementation. We work closely with development and business teams to ensure an effective transition.

What are typical R&D project timelines?

Timelines vary significantly based on complexity and technology maturity. Basic research projects can take 1-2 years, while prototype development may require 3-6 months. We adopt an agile approach with regular milestones to ensure steady progress and the ability to adapt to new discoveries or requirements.
