About Research Center
The fundamental principle of the research center's operation is the transfer of knowledge and technology to industrial enterprises. Many industrial companies do not have their own research capacities, and therefore it is effective for them to use external research organizations and universities as partners for solving research and development tasks. The research center therefore systematically develops cooperation with industrial partners and focuses on the implementation of projects with a direct impact on their competitiveness, technological level and innovation potential.
The Research Center is currently undergoing a strategic transformation responding to the current needs of industrial practice and technological development. The workplace is newly oriented primarily to the development of long-term cooperation with industrial partners, especially in the automotive industry and related technological fields. The strategic goal of the center is to provide companies with professional support in solving their technological, production and process challenges through applied research and experimental development.
The center's activities are based on multidisciplinary cooperation across departments, which enables a comprehensive approach to solving real technical and technological problems. The involvement of experts from various fields contributes not only to the higher quality of the implemented projects, but also to the development of publishing activities, which is difficult to implement in technical fields without access to real data and practical research.
The center's research activities are focused primarily on the areas of electronics, automation and advanced sensors. In the area of electronics, the center focuses on the design, testing and optimization of electronic systems for industrial applications, in the area of automation it focuses on the development of solutions supporting the digitization and automation of production and logistics processes, and in the area of advanced sensors, the main focus is the design and implementation of sensor systems for production monitoring, quality control and monitoring of the operating conditions of technological equipment.
A separate area is represented by systems based on artificial intelligence methods, where the center focuses mainly on advanced image processing methods for automatic production quality control, sensitivity analysis over large data sets, the use of artificial neural networks for the creation of prediction systems, for example for predictive maintenance or production quality prediction, and the use of numerical models for the optimization of logistics and production processes.
Research Center Staff
doc. Ing. Robert Frischer, Ph.D.
Head of the Research Center
robert.frischer@savs.cz
Robert Frischer has long focused on research activities in the fields of electronics, sensors, automation and machine vision. His focus is mostly application oriented, where he concentrates on grant application calls supporting research activities with industrial companies. It has been working with industrial partners since 2012, when the first joint patents, industrial designs and utility models were created. His focus is not only scientific, he has worked with a number of patent offices in the field of industrial protection and is able to assist industrial partners in this area as well. Industrial protection is currently very much neglected in the country, which is not good. He is also a designated expert in cybernetics and electronics and can be consulted for any expertise or issues outside of the university. As head of the research centre, he focuses on contract research and aims to work closely with business on R&D, particularly where there is a challenge or a commonly intractable problem. As an educator, he focuses on data processing, data networking, algorithmization and applied electronics. He has supervised more than a hundred theses in the past and has now successfully guided 5 PhD students to the defense.
Vimal Bhatia
Researcher
Professor Vimal Bhatia currently works at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore, India, as well as at IIT Delhi and Škoda Auto Vysoká škola Research Center. His research interests include the broader areas of communication, nonparametric processing of nonparaphysical signals, and machine/deep learning with applications to communication and photonics. He has participated in various roles on projects worth a total of $20 million, published more than 300 papers in peer-reviewed journals, and obtained 5 patents. He is also a reviewer for IEEE, Elsevier, Wiley, Springer, and IET, and collaborates with the editorial boards of the journals IETE Technical Review, Frontiers in Communications and Networks, Frontiers in Signal Processing, and IEEE Wireless Communications Letters. In recent years, Vimal Bhatia has served as co-chair of the IEEE ANTS conference, founder and head of the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, associate dean for research and development, and associate dean for academic affairs, and in addition to scientific work, he has also been involved in teaching.
