Whether it is a completely new process/product/service that needs to be designed or an existing one that needs to be improved and optimized, CyRIC is the right partner. We offer R&D services directly to the industry or through European and Nationally funded projects, in the fields of mechanical engineering & prototyping, electrical and electronics engineering, IoT, embedded systems, mechatronics, robotics, automated analytical instrumentation, photonics, data analytics, AI, custom software design & development. CyRIC’s R&D Department has been involved in more than 35 European and National R&D Projects and completed numerous assignments from the industry and the local start-up community.

Engineering Design & Prototyping Division

The Engineering Design & Prototyping division of the R&D Department specializes in developing innovative prototypes and technology through a blend of design creativity and engineering excellence. With a highly experienced product design team, who understand materials and manufacturing, we carefully manage the entire development process to deliver TRL6-7 prototypes and equipment for our clients/partners. Using a highly structured process to manage our projects, we ensure our work is delivered on time and within budget.
Our service is available at all stages of a project including concept studies, modelling, simulation, final design and manufacturing. The entire process of engineering planning and design requires not only imagination and conceptual thinking but also sound knowledge of practical aspects, such as the latest design codes and by-laws, backed up by ample experience, intuition and judgment.
Service offering includes:

  • Engineering design (feasibility assessment, concept development, CAD, Design for manufacturing, patent search & patent drawings, preparation for small scale production)
  • Prototyping (proof of concept prototype, presentation prototype, pre-production prototype)
  • Engineering simulations (CFD analysis, FEA analysis)
  • Control systems (design, implementation), in collaboration with the ECN Division

CyRIC has heavily invested in state-of-the-art infrastructure and high calibre personnel towards the design and development of  unmanned aerial and ground systems  (www.uags.cyric.eu) for high-tech missions and applications including Defence, Infrastructure, Control, ISR, Search and Rescue, Civil Defence and Target Estimation. It includes various fixed wing (FW), multirotor (MR) and vertical take-off landing (VTOL) platforms, Unmanned Ground Vehicles UGVs. The production facility is located at our new premises in Ergates Industrial Area at the outskirts of Nicosia and was built with end-to-end UAV, UGV fabrication in mind, covering all major subsystems including structures, propulsion, aerodynamics, communication, payloads, and control.

 

The key advantages of CyRIC’s solutions are:

  • the long endurance, modular airframe and portability of UAVs
  • fully autonomous operation of UAVs in a wide variety of weather conditions, including extreme conditions
  • the capability of its rough terrain autonomous ground vehicles UGVs to operate in harsh conditions
  • customisable UAV and UGV solutions tailored to the needs of application and end-user

Electronics, Communications and Networks Division

CyRIC’s R&D division of Electronics, Communications and Networks (ECN) is a major pillar of the company’s R&D activities, as well as its commercial deployments in the fields of smart wearables, sensor technologies and IoT. The ECN team comprises highly experiences engineers, experts and senior researchers in the corresponding sectors. The team holds experience in participation and coordination of numerous European and National R&D projects, in the fields of ICT, Robotics, Photonics and Automated analytical instrumentation, where it developed high quality electronics prototypes. Expertise is mainly focus around the following areas:

  • Mechatronics, Robotics and Intelligent reconfigurable systems (design, development, on-site installation and support)
  • Embedded Electronics & Control Systems (design, development, programming)
  • Internet of Things (IoT) – Solutions from low-level sensor design up to cloud infrastructures and data analytics
  • Smart IoT Devices and sensors (custom IoT)
  • Low level electronics (Digital, analog and mixed signal electronics design & prototyping, VHDL programming, PCB design)
  • Photonics (biosensor-based photonic systems, real-time water quality monitoring, in situ contaminant/microbe detection, control & signal processing for photonic applications)
