Dear Friends and Partners,
To whom it may concern,

As part of our new initiative, code-named HELIOS, we are establishing an integrated R&D environment aimed at developing an embodied AI assistant capable of joining long-duration orbital and interplanetary missions as an autonomous, adaptive, and socially intelligent crew member.

In this context, we are actively seeking partners from industry, academia, and research organizations working in the areas of embodied and cognitive systems, next-generation human–machine interfaces, and on-board or edge AI computing platforms.

While we welcome all forms of collaboration — including joint research proposals, bilateral funding frameworks, supervision or co-supervision of MSc and PhD theses, and academic exchange through student mobility, postdoctoral placements, or visiting researcher programs — our current priority is to pursue domain-driven innovation through close cooperation with technology developers and research institutions.

Please refer to the attached research proposal for additional information.

We would be happy to start a conversation and explore potential forms, scopes, and areas of collaboration if you or your organization see potential alignment with this initiative — including, but not limited to, the areas listed in the Selected Research Areas section.

If you have any questions or would like to explore possible collaboration, please don’t hesitate to reach out at siwik@agh.edu.pl.
