Science centres

Centre for the Information Processing of Intelligent Objects

Claude Shannon first used the word "bit" in his paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" in 1948. He attributed the origin of the word bit to John W. Tucci, who named the "binary information digit" simply "bit" in a memo at Bell Labs on 9 January 1947.

What does the Centre do?

The innovations we work on in our Centre are based on new technologies that facilitate and improve communication between people. We are focusing on new ideas that will improve the way technology is used in everyday life. We develop algorithms and device prototypes that directly improve modern telecommunications systems. Our goal is to improve the reliability of data transmission in wireless and optical communication systems through the development of new algorithms. We apply machine learning in satellite telecommunications and reliable data recording. We test new solutions for communication between intelligent objects, as well as for smart cities.
