CBRTP - Pulse-com

The company

CBRTP is a unique mix of consulting proficiency and R&D center specializing in materials science (including photovoltaics, polymers, thin films), physics, geophysics, electrotechnics, robotics and automation. CBRTP has experience in conducting national R&D projects (as sole beneficiary and as partner in consortium) conducted commercially as well as co-financed by national and European funds.

The company was founded in 2013 and since then it has completed 5 R&D projects and in 2018 has started another 4, while the process of acquisition of another 5 projects is pending. The overall value of completed and on-going projects exceeds 40 M€ (15 M€ as CBRTP’s budget). Completed projects are currently in phase of preparation for market implementation in sectors of polymer recycling and flood embankments monitoring.

CBRTP cooperates with many Polish and European academic and research centers in terms of joint projects as well as human and technical resources exchange, therefore it has access to various, specialized scientists and research equipment. The company has developed its own two laboratory facilities in Warsaw (materials science and physics) and Cracow (electrotechnics, robotics and automation).

Currently CBRTP’s research staff includes more than 30 scientists comprising several with professor title and are backed by administration and finance team of 30 experts. Scientific achievements of company’s employees consist of more than 1 000 publications (including more than 20 with CBRTP affiliation) and more than 50 patents and patents applications (including 7 patents and patents applications co-owned by CBRTP).

Main Tasks in PULSE-COM

CBRTP will collaborate on the design, prototyping and evaluation of the PZL. They will also work on the design of a photo-mobile piezoelectric harvester working under natural light. Finally, they will lead the dissemination and exploitation of the results.
