Our work with

ARIA

Amodo Design are an ARIA Activation Partner. We are one of nine teams working with the Advanced Research + Innovation Agency (ARIA) to create a thriving UK science and technology ecosystem. We are focused on delivering engineering projects for ARIA's R&D Creators: the individuals and teams carrying out ARIA-funded research.

"Progress in science depends on new techniques, new discoveries, and new ideas, probably in that order."

- Sydney Brenner

At Amodo we believe that new science requires new tools. In the 20th century, scientists and engineers worked alongside one another and new scientific discoveries often followed new engineering developments. We have found that this is no longer the case and that scientists are left with the choice between shoehorning their research into off-the-shelf equipment or abandoning promising research tracks for lack of appropriate equipment.

ARIA’s R&D Creators are reaching for the edge of the possible, and we’re here to support that. Our goal is that no R&D Creator is ever bottlenecked by a lack of access to bespoke scientific equipment. Our mechanical, electronic, firmware and software engineering teams will partner with R&D Creators as an engineering SWAT team to quickly develop new hardware for them. We will work on hardware from the very earliest stages of research through to the commercialisation of inventions.

Components that unblock research

Our goals is that no R&D Creator is ever blocked by a lack of access to custom hardware. We can work collaboratively with you to design and manufacture custom components that enable you to run your research. We already work with a host of academic groups and startups filling in the gaps in their teams, delivering mechanical, electronic, and software sub-systems where they are needed.

New lab equipment

New science often requires new tools and we're here to develop them. Whether you're working on robotics, neurotech, climate, or plant biology we are ready to develop new scientific equipment for you. We will start by understanding the needs of your research and then, collaboratively, map out ways to solve that. This can be light-touch advice or full-on engineering design and prototyping. We're hear to enable your research.

Turning lab inventions into prototype products

We're here to drive real world impact, we want to see your inventions transforming the world. Building on your inventions we can support you to develop MVP prototypes that you can use to get early customer feedback and start raising capital to deploy your technology. We bring together product design and engineering to take ideas all the way from initial concept through to market.

How we work with R&D Creators

Having worked with academic groups, startups, and SMEs around the UK we have a well developed approach for supporting our partners. Our goal is to work collaboratively as an ARIA Activation Partner. This means that we will evolve our approach to suit you.

Discover

We will work with R&D Creators to understand their research needs and evaluate where new or existing equipment could unlock new research opportunities.

Design

Taking specifications from Creators we will design solutions to their equipment needs. We will work collaboratively to design tools that are fit for purpose and suit the Creator’s workflow.

Deploy

We will turn designs into prototypes. Our in-house workshop is equipped with the tools needed to prototype new hardware - delivering prototypes at an unrivalled pace.
