Research Areas

The Digital and High-Frequency Electronics (DHFE) Section conducts research in advanced electronic systems that enable the next generation of autonomous, connected, and energy-efficient technologies. Our work spans digital electronics, embedded systems, artificial intelligence, communication technologies, sensing, and power electronics, with applications in robotics, drones, critical infrastructure, energy systems, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Our mission is to develop innovative technologies that address major societal and industrial challenges, including infrastructure inspection and maintenance, resilient communication systems, and intelligent autonomous operation. By combining expertise across electronics, computing, sensing, and control, we create solutions that bridge fundamental research and real-world impact.

The section is internationally recognized for pioneering autonomous robotic and drone technologies for infrastructure inspection and maintenance. Among our notable achievements is developing one of the world's first self-recharging drone platforms, enabling long-duration autonomous inspection missions with no human intervention. This platform has helped establish DHFE as a leading research environment in autonomous aerial systems for critical infrastructure applications.

The section collaborates closely with leading universities, industrial partners, public organizations, and start-ups to accelerate innovation and technology transfer. This interdisciplinary approach enables us to transform scientific advances into practical solutions for society and industry.
