"Cyber-physical systems" laboratory has been founded by Leo Selavo at IECS Latvia on February 1. 2012. The lab will conduct R&D about systems that combine and coordinate computational elements and the real, physical world.

More specifically, the group will investigate wireless sensor networks, embedded systems, hardware prototyping and profiling systems such as EDIMote, optimization and increased usability of software and operating systems development such as MansOS, and intelligent transportation systems such as our vehicle that participated in the GCDC challenge, and applications in medical care, for example, a body network to treat scoliosis. A focus will be on disruptive technologies for interdisciplinary research that open new views to our world and enable a positive change in our lives.

Currently the group has 10 members ranging from students to professionals and researchers with masters and doctoral degrees. Nevertheless, there is still space for proactive and creative people willing to do research that changes the world. Should you be interested to participate, please, let us know.
