EXPERANOS (Greece, SME, PIC 885333163) is a deep-tech engineering company specialising in privacy-preserving AI (federated learning, homomorphic encryption, zero-knowledge machine learning), edge computer vision, autonomous robotics (ROS 2) and generative AI systems. EXPERANOS acts as a technology provider and pilot integrator in European R&I projects, advancing consortium technologies from TRL 4 to TRL 7-8 through containerised, documented and GDPR-compliant software components deployed in operational environments.

### How a coordinator includes EXPERANOS (3 steps)

1. Add EXPERANOS in the EU Funding & Tenders Portal using PIC 885333163.
2. Email info@experanos.eu with the call identifier, draft concept (one paragraph is enough) and the deadline.
3. Within 48 hours EXPERANOS returns a proposed role, task descriptions, effort estimate and tailored Part B participant text, and supports proposal writing for its sections through to submission.

## Work-package roles

- Core AI developer: custom models (specialised CNNs to fine-tuned LLMs) built for the project's datasets, constraints and KPIs
- Technical architecture WP leader: containerised microservice architectures keeping consortium software cloud-ready, secure and maintainable
- Pilots & demonstrators lead: real-world validations at end-user sites with pre-registered baselines and measured KPIs
- Privacy & security integration: federated learning, FHE and ZKML protocols making sensitive-data use-cases GDPR-compliant by construction
- Technical coordinator: overall system architecture, technical roadmap, integration management across partners
- Requirements & use-case definition: translating end-user needs into concrete KPIs and operational parameters
- AI integration partner: unifying heterogeneous data sources and partner algorithms into scalable pipelines
- Dissemination & exploitation: open-science releases paired with commercial exploitation plans for high-TRL outputs

## Pilot & demonstrator blueprints (ready to instantiate in proposals)

1. Federated clinical AI network (Cluster 1 / health): multi-hospital training without data movement; FL + differential privacy + optional ZKML verifiable inference; KPIs: model quality vs centralised baseline, privacy budget, cross-site generalisation; TRL 4->7.
2. Edge vision quality inspection (Cluster 4 / manufacturing): in-line defect detection with TensorRT-optimised models integrated with the factory MES; KPIs: precision/recall, false-reject rate, latency, scrap reduction; TRL 5->8.
3. Autonomous inspection robotics (Clusters 3 & 5 / infrastructure): ground robots with arm-mounted sensors, autonomous mission planning, on-board defect perception; KPIs: coverage, detection accuracy, cost/time vs manual; TRL 4->7.
4. Wildfire & environmental early warning (Cluster 3 / civil protection): camera towers, aerial patrols and satellite feeds fused with edge AI detection, designed for Mediterranean conditions; KPIs: time-to-detection, false-alarm rate, surveilled area per euro; TRL 5->8.
5. Sovereign RAG for public administration (Digital Europe): retrieval-augmented assistant over legislation and case files, open-weight LLMs fine-tuned for the national language, on-premises, citation-grounded, audit-logged; KPIs: groundedness, task completion time, staff satisfaction, zero data egress; TRL 5->8.
6. Digital twin for energy assets (Cluster 5): live twin of buildings/grids/renewables fusing IoT telemetry with predictive models; KPIs: forecast accuracy, energy savings, unplanned-downtime reduction; TRL 4->7.

## Engineering methodology

- TRL bridge: harden lab-validated research (TRL 4) into engineered components; integrate and benchmark in relevant environments (TRL 5-6); iterate operational pilot rounds with measured KPIs (TRL 7); deliver a qualified system with documentation and exploitation-ready packaging (TRL 8).
- Every deliverable ships containerised, version-controlled, tested and documented, with defined interfaces and a deployment path to the pilot site.
- Pilots start by pre-registering the measurable baseline and KPIs with end-users; results are reported per-site and reproducibly.
- Open science: permissively licensed open-source releases where possible, FAIR data management plans, publications deposited in open repositories (Zenodo, arXiv).
