Question
Define the technical problem, constraints, assumptions, and questions that need to be investigated.
LRDL turns research questions into experiments, prototypes, engineering systems, and technologies that can be tested in increasingly concrete forms.
Building at LRDL is an iterative process. The stages are not necessarily linear; research and engineering continuously inform one another.
Define the technical problem, constraints, assumptions, and questions that need to be investigated.
Study relevant methods, technologies, evidence, and existing approaches before implementation.
Build controlled experiments to test ideas, assumptions, architectures, and technical approaches.
Translate validated findings into software, hardware, embedded systems, or integrated technology.
Measure results, identify limitations, refine the system, and repeat where necessary.
Evaluate whether the resulting system performs according to its intended technical requirements.
LRDL's engineering work can span software, embedded computing, experimental platforms, and intelligent systems.
Intelligent software, computational systems, algorithms, and research-oriented software infrastructure.
Hardware–software integration, embedded computing, sensing, and systems designed for constrained environments.
Prototypes and experimental platforms used to investigate technical concepts and research questions.
Systems that combine computation, sensing, automation, control, and intelligent behaviour.
Engineering at LRDL is grounded in experimentation, measurement, documentation, and iteration.
Prefer ideas that can be implemented and evaluated.
Use evidence and measurable behaviour where possible.
Improve systems through repeated experimentation.
Record technical decisions, findings, and limitations.
LRDL's public project portfolio will be published as research and engineering programs mature and their information is ready for public release.
Research provides the foundation for the experiments and systems LRDL develops.
