About Us & Core Competencies
We are a specialized research group bridging advanced, control theory, AI, and physical systems. We develop physics-informed multimodal AI, Safe AI frameworks, advanced control strategies, and software architectures tailored for smart manufacturing, autonomous robotics, and intelligent transportation systems.
Key Technological Capabilities
-
Physics-Informed & Multimodal AI: Integration of domain knowledge (Model-Structured Neural Networks) with multimodal sensor fusion (RGB, IR, LiDAR, time-series) for low-overhead, real-time deployment.
-
Autonomous Robotics & Driving: Advanced motion planning, state estimation, cooperative perception, control for mobile robots, manipulators, quadrupeds, and autonomous vehicles.
-
Safe AI & Advanced Control: Dependable, certifiable AI architectures and control loops ensuring operational safety, obstacle avoidance, and constraint enforcement in dynamic environments.
-
Co-Simulation & Digital Twins: High-fidelity multi-domain co-simulation (integrating CARLA, ROS 2, SUMO, and ns-3) for virtual testing, HIL/ViL/AiL validation, V2X connectivity, and process modeling.
-
Inline Quality & Process Optimization: Edge-ready algorithms for inline defect detection, predictive maintenance, and adaptive execution.
Expected Role in EU Projects
We seek to join consortia targeting Horizon Europe (Clusters 4 & 5 - including CCAM and Smart Mobility), Chips JU, or related frameworks as a specialized Technology Provider or Work Package / Task Leader. We contribute to:
-
Developing physics-guided AI, multimodal perception pipelines, and autonomous navigation algorithms.
-
Building high-fidelity digital twins and co-simulation stacks for robotics and V2X testing.
-
Validating robotic control, safety protocols, and autonomous behavior on physical testbeds and shop-floor setups.
Ideal Partners
Robot/machine manufacturers, industrial end-users, RTOs, Automotive OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and consortium coordinators.
