Curiosity, with an engineering test at the end.

We investigate technologies before we recommend them. These are the areas we are actively exploring. They are research interests, not published papers or funded programmes.

FIELD / ILLUSTRATIVENOT MEASURED DATA

Six areas, each with open questions.

Each area is framed by the practical questions we want to answer. Findings feed directly into how we design client systems.

R.01

Applied machine learning

Models chosen and trained for a specific, measurable task, with attention to data quality, evaluation and deployment constraints.

Open questions

  • How little data is enough for a reliable model?
  • When should a model run locally rather than in the cloud?

R.02

Intelligent systems

Systems that combine models, rules and human review, so automated decisions remain explainable and correctable.

Open questions

  • Where should a person stay in the loop?
  • How do we make agent behaviour predictable?

R.03

Robotics

Integration of perception, language and actuation for robots and interactive devices that work in real environments.

Open questions

  • How can conversational AI control hardware safely?
  • What latency is acceptable for natural interaction?

R.04

RF engineering

Software-defined radio, signal processing and machine-learning-assisted analysis of the radio spectrum.

Open questions

  • Which features best separate similar signal types?
  • What can run on low-power embedded hardware?

R.05

Embedded intelligence

Running useful inference on microcontrollers and edge devices, close to the sensor and away from the network.

Open questions

  • What accuracy is lost when a model is compressed?
  • How should edge devices report only what matters?

R.06

Emerging automation

Evaluating new automation tools and AI agents against real workflows before recommending them to clients.

Open questions

  • Which tasks are genuinely ready to automate?
  • How do we measure the effect of automation honestly?

From question to evidence.

The same method applies to client feasibility studies. You receive the findings, including what did not work.

  1. 01

    Define

    A specific question and the criteria that would answer it.

  2. 02

    Build

    The smallest prototype or experiment that can test it.

  3. 03

    Measure

    Results against the criteria, recorded as they happen.

  4. 04

    Decide

    A clear recommendation: proceed, adjust or stop.
