Væringjar II is open to scientific dialogue, engineering contribution and experimental partnerships while the scientific and technological foundations are still being formed.
Væringjar II is an independent, author-led and self-funded research programme. Igor Sikorsky KPI and KNUCA are academic affiliations and research environments, not owners or sponsors of the programme.
Contimech.org supports translation of the research into executable technology: C++ / ROS 2 reference implementation, test infrastructure, embedded prototypes and the exploratory RISC-V / SoC path.
Contimech.org →The current objective is to establish the methodology, validate it experimentally, build reference implementations and create a credible research and technology network. Commercialisation is deliberately deferred.
Control theory, cybernetics, fault-tolerant control, dependability, optimisation, formal verification and reconfigurable systems.
ROS 2, embedded control, HIL, fault injection, RISC-V, FPGA, SoC architecture and deterministic real-time systems.
Robotics and aerospace teams with real plants, test rigs, models or failure scenarios suitable for controlled post-failure experiments.
The useful starting point is not a polished proposal. Four pieces of information are enough to determine whether the problem overlaps with the research programme.
Robot, vehicle, flight platform or another cyber-physical object.
What changes irreversibly or degrades during operation?
What sensing, actuation, compute, power or communication remains?
What useful behaviour should still be achieved and how can it be verified?
No procurement process or commercial scope is required. A research question, paper, plant model, test scenario or implementation idea is enough to start.
