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.
