Technology & R&D
Research focus areas
The fields Navottara is exploring. They describe where research and development effort is directed — not finished products, commercial offerings or validated results.
AI & Intelligent Systems
Status: Exploring
Exploring how machine learning, perception and decision-support methods can be applied to well-defined problems — with an emphasis on reliability, efficiency and systems that can run where they are needed, including on-device.
Topics of interest
- Applied machine learning
- Computer vision and signal understanding
- Edge and on-device inference
- Decision-support tools
Advanced Electronics
Status: Exploring
Investigating hardware foundations for practical devices: embedded systems, sensing, power-efficient circuit design and the integration of electronics with software and intelligence.
Topics of interest
- Embedded systems
- Sensors and instrumentation
- Low-power circuit design
- Hardware–software integration
Intelligent Health Technologies
Status: Exploring
Exploring where sensing, data and intelligent systems could responsibly support health and wellbeing. Work in this area is approached conservatively, with attention to evidence, safety and regulation.
Note: Any work in this area is exploratory. Nothing on this site is a medical device or clinical product, and no clinical or diagnostic claims are made.
Topics of interest
- Health and wellbeing sensing
- Data-driven health insights
- Assistive and accessibility technology
Immersive Computing / XR
Status: Exploring
Studying how augmented, virtual and mixed-reality interfaces can make complex information, spaces and skills easier to understand and use.
Topics of interest
- Augmented and mixed reality
- Spatial visualisation
- Immersive training and learning
Sustainable & Smart Systems
Status: Exploring
Exploring connected and intelligent systems that help measure, manage and reduce the use of energy and materials in buildings, devices and infrastructure.
Topics of interest
- Energy-aware systems
- Monitoring and control
- Resource-efficient design
Emerging Technology
Status: Exploring
A space for early, open-ended investigation of new technologies and their practical applications, before they are assigned to a dedicated area.
Topics of interest
- Technology scouting
- Feasibility studies
- Cross-disciplinary experiments
