During the visit, they toured the HealthLab located in the CPIT TL3 testbed. The HealthLab comprises laboratories designed according to the concept of living labs and enables research and development activities under conditions close to real-world operation. “HealthLab represents all technological areas related to quality of life in residential environments. It integrates telemedicine and assistive technologies with home automation systems, indoor environmental quality monitoring, and trends in building energy self-sufficiency,” explained Martin Černý, Head of HealthLab.
Another part of the program took place at the Smart Factory – a state-of-the-art laboratory intended for education, demonstration, testing, and experimental development of technologies used in the digitalization of industry.
The company representatives were also introduced to laboratories focused on virtual instrumentation, signal theory and control, and machine learning for industrial applications.
“The visit concluded with a presentation of ongoing projects, followed by a discussion on further opportunities for cooperation, particularly in the area of joint research and application-oriented projects and the involvement of students in solving tasks arising from industrial practice,” said René Jaroš, Deputy Head of the Department of Cybernetics and Biomedical Engineering.
The visit confirmed mutual interest in further developing cooperation and strengthening links between the academic environment and the needs of industrial practice.
