Faculty of Information Technology

We Are Unique in the Czech Republic

• researching on robots navigated by a stereoscopic camera that can follow a person or escape from him. The robot can be controlled by a simple hand gesture to proceed in various directions and to make turns.
• having a department for forensic analysis of evidence of a digital nature.
• our research on robotic toys, suitable for use as accessories for voice communication between man and computer. You can play with them, they can read an SMS or an e-mail to you, wake you up in the morning instead of an alarm clock, and they will give you reminders in the course of the day, e.g. that you need to go shopping.
• carrying out studies of methods for automating data mining processes.
• our research into the design of equipment resistant against attacks and against breaking the ciphers presently used in conventional chip cards.
• our research into massive parallel algorithms for computers with hundreds of thousands of processors.
• being the first to start using field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) for teaching digital design.

We Are Unique in the World

• having created a unique library of compressed-sensing algorithms and a unified testing environment for research on the properties of compressed sensing algorithms.
• designing and modelling highly reliable and self-testing numerical VLSI circuits.
• knowing how to implement neuron networks effectively on IC cards and gating fields using linearly approximated functions.

We Are Preparing for the Near Future

• a new laboratory for knowledge engineering and a laboratory for programming mobile devices.
