Research Themes

Nimbus has a foundation in delivering end-to-end solutions creating reliable, robust and secure Cyber Physical Systems that power the Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Automation and Robotics, Autonomous Vehicles, Green Energy, e-Health and many other smart applications. The Nimbus Research Centre is at the forefront of CPS technology, which is the main driving force of the emerging Fourth Industrial Revolution. The Nimbus Research Centre is Ireland’s leading research centre in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT). CPS are widely known for their use in the IoT, where physical things are connected to the Internet. Recent technological advances have made available highly integrated, low power, low cost systems for IoT applications. This means we can connect almost anything to the IoT, and projections for the number of connected things range up to 75 billion by 2025.
