Overview
Research Center for Informatics (RCI) Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) operates under the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) and focuses on the following topics: artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision and pattern recognition, robotics and autonomous systems, parallel computing for large data analysis, theoretical computer science, bioinformatics, medical information processing, graphics, visualization and HCI, and embedded security. RCI excellence is based on the existing impact in the research and application areas.
This research output stands on top of high quantity of research results published at international conferences and workshop, where the researchers will collect feedback from the community and will spread reputation of RCI. RCI members have founded Open Informatics, a unique in the Czech Republic, research oriented computer science undergraduate and master degree at CTU that features fields of study such as: Software, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Games, Embedded Systems, Computer Grpahics, Software Engineering, Data Science, Cyber Security, Bioinformatics, Computer Vision and Human-Computer Interaction.
RCI is involved in international collaborations with leading research centers in respective areas. Just examples of our key partners are the following: ETH Zurich, Switzerland, University of Oulu, Finland, University of Surrey, UK, Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK (MCR) and North Carolina University at Chapel Hill (NCU), TECHNION I.I.T., Israel, Oxford University, United Kingdom, University of Edinburgh, Center for Intelligent Systems and Applications, AIAI, Stanford University and more others, see our web pages for more details.
RCI enables valuable cross sector collaborations that better facilitates transition of research excellence across different partners from research and application areas. Currently existing core of industrial partners are for example: Valeo, Adobe, IBM, CISCO, Microsoft Research, OPTIMITIVE S.L.U. and Foxcon. RCI has also established the Industrial Advisory Board. Besides direct industrial contracts, RCI members demonstrated capability to engage in technology transfer by means of building startup companies, so common at leading computer science departments at e.g. Stanford University, University of California at Berkeley or MIT. Throughout their career there have been established numerous successful startup companies that are either co-owned by the university or the university licensed the required IP to the startups. CISCO Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) has successfully acquired one of the CTU startup companies, Cognitive Security in 2013. As common in California, the founding professor rejoined the university soon after the transaction. Other example is Company EyeDea s.r.o, where the CTU has 10% share. Digital technologies.
