Research philosophy

Collaboration between science and industry is the cornerstone of the INCAS³ research philosophy. True innovation happens where both meet. The public-private nature of INCAS³ research is set in a number of basic principles.

Cognitive Systems

Measuring noise pollution involves more than just counting decibels alone: you need a sensor system that listens to sound in the environment just like a person does. Cognitive Systems is developing methods to make that possible.

Systems & Controls

When researching sensor systems for controlling water quality, monitoring the environmental parameters in buildings, or analyzing body movement, the underlying research topics that form part of INCAS³ projects are often the same. Such topics include the design of sensor hardware platforms and that of reliable software to control the system.

Industrial Research

The scientists within the Industrial Research group perform application oriented research in which the INCAS³ expertise is brought into practice. They solve industrial challenges by combining the expertise and solutions coming from our basic research groups to the prototyping capability of the Engineering Group.

Engineering

The engineering team works closely together with the researchers to turn the ideas into actual prototype designs and realize the prototypes. The highly trained engineers have a strong experience in software design, high-speed signal processing in FPGA’s and microcontrollers, and hardware design. Their challenge is in translating novel scientific ideas into industry applicable solutions. In most of the INCAS³ projects the engineering team is involved.
