We had the opportunity to collaborate with Spika Tech on the PRAS project, an experience that perfectly reflects the kind of work we enjoy the most: combining research-driven ideas with real-world development. In this case, our contribution focused on the design of the robotic platform, where we were able to apply our background in bioinspired systems and intelligent optimization to shape the initial concept and define how the system should operate.

Once the design phase was established, Spika Tech took the lead in building and implementing the robot, bringing the project to life. It was a smooth and rewarding collaboration, where both sides contributed their strengths and maintained a close exchange throughout the process. Working in this kind of environment not only improves the final outcome, but also opens the door to new ideas and future developments that go beyond the original scope of the project.

For us, projects like PRAS are a great example of how meaningful collaborations can emerge when research and industry move in the same direction. We are always interested in exploring new partnerships and continuing to work on challenging problems alongside other groups and companies, especially when there is room to co-design solutions and push ideas a bit further.
