About us

EDI (Institute of Electronics and Computer Science) in Riga, Latvia was established within the framework of the Latvian Academy of Science in 1960. EDI is a public research institution. Currently, EDI is among the highest-rated scientific institutions in Latvia specializing in Smart Embedded Cooperative Systems (SECS). Our mission is to perceive the world and design a better future by creating new knowledge, developing innovative technologies, and demonstrating their practical significance in real-life applications. This mission drives a scientific staff of over 80 people, who are organized in four laboratories: Signal Processing; Space Technology; Robotics and Machine Perception; and Cyber-Physical System labs. At EDI we believe that our future world will be even more connected, digital and automated than ever, forming various ambitious challenges to achieve, e.g. personalized predictive and preventive healthcare; flexible, efficient, connected and autonomous (zero defect) factories; safe (zero fatalities), affordable, sustainable, connected, cooperative, automated and clean (zero emissions) mobility; secure, safe and trustable connectivity and system interoperability; to name a few, which will impact the everyday life of citizens and all business sectors. At EDI we have a unique perspective, expertise, and capacity to contribute to solving all these challenges on a global scale. The key driving force of EDI scientific activities is its economic and social impact, therefore we apply our SECS expertise in mobility, industry, health, digital life, and space domains. Meanwhile, we are focusing on the following research directions: extremely precise event timing; remote sensing and space data processing; robotics and machine perception; signal processing and embedded intelligence; smart sensors and IoT. Our expertise is complemented by close collaboration with 300+ international partners. EDI have coordinated and participated in numerous EU projects.

  • Strukturētās vidēs – ražotnēs pie konveijeriem, loģistikas centros un noliktavās, būvlaukumos – jau vairākus gadu desmitus daļa uzdevumu tiek uzticēti robotiem. Šādās vidēs situācijas ir iepriekš paredzamas. Daudz sarežģītāk ir tad, ja vide ir dinamiska, mainīga un nezināma, piemēram, meži, purvainas vietas, lauki. Latvijas zinātnieku komanda izstrādājusi autonomu kognitīvās uztveres sistēmu, kas ļaus robotiem patstāvīgi plānot savu rīcību un orientēties arī šādās sarežģītās, nestrukturētās vidēs.

  • 7.-8. oktobris Vadošais pētnieks Roberts Kadiķis piedalās pašbraucošajām automašīnām un uzlabotas autonomās mobilitātes infrastruktūrai veltītā projekta Augmented CCAM partneru tikšanās pasākumā Madridē. Šoreiz tikšanās fokusējas uz novembrī pānotajiem pilota testiem. EDI veiks trīs lietojuma gadījumu testus Biķernieku trasē, demonstrājot EDI izstrādātos risinājumus neaizsargātu satiksmes dalībnieku drošības uzlabošanā, operatīvā transporta un pābraucošo automašīnu savstarpējā manevru koordinēšanā, un īslaicīgu ceļa remontdarbu konfigurācijas informācijas nodošanā no ceļa remonta uz garām braucošajām autonomajām mašīnām. October 18.-19. Senior researcher Robert Kadiķis attends the Augmented CCAM (Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility) partners meeting in Madrid. This time, the meeting focuses on the pilot tests that will take place in November. EDI will conduct three use-case tests at the Bikernieki track, demonstrating EDI's solutions for improving the safety of vulnerable road users, coordinating manoeuvres between emergency vehicles and automated vehicles, and communicating configuration information from temporary road works to passing autonomous cars.

  • Researcher Oskars Teikmanis attends the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (IEEE ICRA@40) From September 23 to 26, researcher Oskars Teikmanis attended the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA@40) in Rotterdam, celebrating its 40th anniversary. ICRA@40 was a uniquely formatted conference that commemorated four decades of existence and evaluated 40 years of achievements in robotics. It aimed to answer the question: what has the robotics community accomplished during this time, and what breakthroughs should we anticipate in the coming decades? On one hand, comparing robotics demonstrations from 1984 and 2024—such as precise control, grasping of various objects, computer vision, legged locomotion, and teleoperation—revealed many similarities over the past 40 years. However, thanks to rapid advancements in sensor and computer performance, there is reason to look confidently toward the future of robotics in the coming decades. The conference offered opportunities to listen to thematic talks, debates, and panel discussions, as well as to participate in presentations of submitted papers. Oskars presented a paper titled “Towards Three-Dimensional Fluid-Directed Rigid Body Control on a Physical System,” discussing a device being developed by EDI that could enable objects to be moved using controlled airflows. This technology has potential applications in transporting fragile objects and creating kinetic art. The paper was developed with the support of funds from the VPP MOTE project.
