RidgeRun/Academy Research Partnership Program
What is RidgeRun's Research Partnership Program?
RidgeRun believes in academy and industry interaction, and encourages the partnership on research programs in order to explore the state of the art in different embedded systems and computer vision topics.
Additionally, RidgeRun encourages the embedded system development on newer platforms by working in conjunction with industry partners such as NVIDIA, to donate hardware to universities for its usage in different Embedded, Computer Vision and Image Processing courses, exposing the next generation of engineers and scientists to the latest industry technologies.
The main goal of this program is to share RidgeRun knowledge with the students, training them on cutting-edge technologies and providing tools to learn, discover and create fascinating projects, solutions and applications using powerful modern hardware.
dispTEC Program
RidgeRun has partnered with the TEC, one of the top universities in engineering in Costa Rica, and the Signal and Image Processing Laboratory (SIPLab), lead by the Dr. Pablo Alvarado-Moya, to create the dispTEC program, a research program targeted to explore and develop state of the art algorithms for computer vision.
The last 2 years, the dispTEC program has used the Nvidia's Jetson platforms for its research. This work in conjunction with RidgeRun engineers, university professors, and students has to lead to an amazing synergy in the exploration of the platform capabilities. You can watch a brief summary of some of the algorithms developed in the 2017-2018 research goal at:
University Donations
RidgeRun is always happy to help academy and thus, we have worked on conjunction with Nvidia for the donation of several Nvidia Jetson TX2 development kits that are used in undergraduate and graduate courses.
RidgeRun has donated hardware to the two largest universities in Costa Rica: TEC and UCR. Currently the boards are used in different image processing, embedded systems, robotics, and computer vision courses.
