01Research
The areas AYKINAY is positioned to explore and contribute to. Activity in each area is dependent on confirmed engagements, partners and resources.
02Areas
Each area below is framed as a technical direction the initiative is positioned to explore and contribute to. Numbers reflect display order, not priority or maturity.
High-performance, low-power and specialised computing architectures, including accelerator systems and novel compute substrates.
Anchored by the AYKINAY Rev-A SBC programme. Research direction covers SoC selection, memory topology, boot media strategy and the disciplined power distribution needed to support a Linux-class single-board computer.
Methods and infrastructure for reliable, deployable intelligent systems — from model design to runtime and evaluation.
Ancillary to the embedded and robotics programmes. Work focuses on the on-device inference, evaluation harnesses and runtime constraints that emerge when intelligent components are deployed outside the data centre.
Custom electronics, firmware and embedded platforms designed for demanding physical and operational constraints.
The most active area today. Carries the H7 flight-control PCB, STM32 flight controller, AYKINAY Rev-A SBC and PicoOS programmes — covering PCB architecture, embedded GUI bring-up and MCU firmware foundations.
Autonomous and tele-operated robotic systems, including perception, control and physical integration.
Closely coupled with the hardware programmes above. The flight-control and embedded GUI work feeds directly into the perception, control and integration problems that any robotic platform has to solve.
On-board systems, propulsion research and platforms for atmospheric and space applications.
Anchored by the 3U CubeSat structure study and the RMF helicon-thruster concept. Both programmes are kept at the documented-design and concept-study stages respectively; no flight, qualification or performance claims are made.
Underwater and surface platforms, marine sensing and resilient systems for harsh aquatic environments.
Held as a research direction. AYKINAY does not currently publish a marine programme; details are withheld until the relevant scope, partners and engineering record are confirmed.
Frontier methods and technologies adjacent to the core areas, evaluated for strategic and scientific value.
Anchored by the QuanDiam quantum-sensing research project, which develops the control and readout electronics for a photodiode-based measurement chain. No measurement or performance claims are made beyond what the current engineering record supports.
03Methodology
A short summary of the process followed when starting a new research thread.
Before a model is touched, the canonical literature and prior art are reviewed. Open questions are identified, alongside the methods that have already been shown to fail.
A working simulation or prototype is preferred over a long theoretical document. The model is the hypothesis; the data is the answer.
Findings are written up — internally, on this site, or in the open literature — so a research thread does not disappear when the next one begins.
