RICAIP Testbed Brno

Concept validation before investment Test new technologies, innovative ideas, AI solutions, or create a prototype before moving into full implementation. Avoid downtime and additional costs.

Cutting-edge infrastructure and expert team Take advantage of modern equipment ranging from CNC technologies and robotics to a supercomputer. We also provide consultations and are happy to experiment in the search for new solutions.

Risk-free thanks to EU support Our services are available with up to a 100% discount for companies with up to 499 employees, thanks to co-financing from the EU and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic. We are part of the Digital Europe projects: EDIH DIGIMAT and AI-MATTERS.

Subsidized training and conferences We organize conferences for the public and businesses, as well as training courses for companies focused on adopting methods and technologies in artificial intelligence, automation, and production digitalization.

At the RICAIP Testbed Brno, we connect top-tier scientific expertise with the needs of industry.

Within European projects, we offer companies testing infrastructure, consulting, prototyping, and joint experiments with full cost coverage — without risk or unnecessary administrative burden. We are the Cybernetics and Robotics research group at CEITEC Brno University of Technology.

Our infrastructure

RICAIP (Research and Innovation Centre on Advanced Industrial Production) is an international center of excellence focused on robotics and artificial intelligence, established as a strategic collaboration between four leading research institutions from the Czech Republic and Germany – CIIRC CTU, CEITEC BUT, DFKI, and ZeMA. Part of the center’s infrastructure includes Industry 4.0 laboratories, known as testbeds.

Testbeds

Testbeds are modern, fully equipped facilities that realistically simulate real manufacturing environments. They offer companies a unique opportunity to validate their innovative projects before implementation, work with new technologies, and receive support from research teams. At the RICAIP Testbed Brno, you can find technologies focused on CNC and additive manufacturing, high-precision 3D measurement, drive diagnostics, robotics, communication technologies, AI, virtual reality, and telepresence.
