Representatives of all interested institutions agreed that it is worth investing in the shared space, which includes three universities, a major scientific institution, a library, and a municipal district office. At the meeting, which discussed the future of the Dejvice Campus, this top-level group met for the first time in more than ten years, when their predecessors signed a memorandum of cooperation.
The Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) has achieved great success in the thirteenth public competition of the SIGMA program (Sub-goal 5) announced by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TA CR). Only four projects out of nineteen were successful, and three of them bear the mark of Prague's technical university. CTU will coordinate two applied research centers and will participate in the third in cooperation with the Brno University of Technology (VUT).
How can beekeepers quickly, cheaply, and effectively determine the best time to harvest honey? This is determined by so-called bee scales, which cost between five and twenty thousand on the market. Two students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague decided to make this technology cheaper and more accessible. As part of the Make-iton incubation program, they built a prototype and will now seek investors.
Autonomous robotic lawn mowers equipped with advanced artificial intelligence, capable of independently mapping terrain, or a digital twin of an industrial production line that automatically generates manufacturing sequences based on the required product. These are just a small sample of the innovations offered by one of the most advanced experimental laboratories for Industry 4.0 in Central and Eastern Europe – the RICAIP Testbed at CIIRC CTU in Prague. It was here that university representatives welcomed the delegation from the European Commission.
