CC combines data from multiple sensing technologies to reveal insights that no single sensor can provide. From intelligent consumer products and medical devices to industrial systems, we bring together complementary sensing modalities to deliver more reliable, accurate and context-aware solutions.

Our expertise spans the fusion of data from cameras, microphones, radar, lidar, inertial, environmental and physiological sensors, alongside advanced signal processing, machine learning and AI. By combining multiple sources of information, we enable systems to perceive and interpret real-world conditions more effectively, overcoming the limitations of individual sensors and unlocking new levels of performance.

CC develops physical AI systems that enable machines to perceive, understand and act within the real world. By combining AI, robotics and sensing technologies, we help organisations create intelligent systems that can operate safely and effectively alongside people.

Our expertise spans the full physical AI stack, including whole body control, fine manipulation, edge AI, low-latency connectivity, digital twins and AI assurance. We apply functionality where it delivers the greatest value, whether in the robot itself, at the edge, within cloud-based systems or across the wider operational ecosystem.

Our approach to agentic AI is built around five interconnected layers: sensing, perception, knowledge, reasoning and action. Together, they enable systems to understand the world around them, make informed decisions and take meaningful action.

By combining expertise in AI, human-machine understanding, sensing technologies, connected systems and software engineering, we help clients build agentic solutions that operate in complex real-world environments.

We specialise in developing robotics in areas that have not traditionally been automated or, in some cases, where automation was not even considered possible.

This requires more than just robotics expertise. Our experience in novel sensor technology, machine vision and AI are equally critical to automating ’semi-structured’ tasks – tasks that are clearly defined yet not purely repetitive. For example, as opposed to a robot that will pick all the apples on a tree, we might design a robot that picks only the ripe ones.

We draw on a wealth of experience when addressing each new challenge, having created robotic solutions across a range of industries, including industrial, consumer, agricultural and medical.

At CC we are the leading the way in intelligent simulation tools, offering a comprehensive suite of services for testing autonomous systems.

Our unique approach utilises synthetic data to create tailored operational environments, run AI algorithms and evaluate sensor performance.

This advanced simulation offers numerous benefits, including the potential for up to 95% reduction in data collection costs, accelerated product development, improved safety and scenario testing.

Understanding and optimising the flow of liquids, gases and heat can be critical design parameters. By understanding how heat will flow and how fluids and gases will interact with the proposed system, the time and cost of iteration and testing can be greatly reduced.

One of the earliest examples of our success in this field is inkjet printing, from which we created numerous spinouts, including billion-dollar companies Domino and Xaar.

Our consultancy teams are adept in nanofluidics, microfluidics and multiphase fluidics, with particular strengths in aerosol generation at a range of temperatures. We’ve also made significant progress in DNA liquid aerosols and nebulisers.

Our Product realisation capability ensures that products are not only innovative but also manufacturable, functional, and optimised for the end-user experience. This holistic approach integrates design, function, and manufacturing right from the start, ensuring a smooth path to production.

A core element of realisation is our Design for Manufacturing (DFM) expertise. Our DFM engineers and New Product Introduction (NPI) teams collaborate closely with our trusted Contract Manufacturing (CM) partners to ensure designs are optimised for both performance and manufacturability. This close partnership reduces costly iterations and speeds up the journey to market.

We go beyond traditional DFM by addressing cross-functional challenges, optimising mechanical architecture, UX, and ID, while maintaining design authority throughout.

This is especially valuable for breakthrough innovations, allowing us to deliver high-quality products faster, providing significant value to our clients and giving them a competitive edge.

By overcoming constraints around size, weight and power, CC uses miniaturisation to create products and experiences that are more intuitive, wearable and seamlessly integrated into everyday life.

Through first-principles engineering, we reimagine technologies and system architectures to deliver greater capability in smaller, lighter and less intrusive form factors. We create highly integrated systems that consolidate functionality, increase performance density and overcome the limitations of traditional designs.

From consumer devices and wearables to medical technologies and sensing platforms, we help o unlock new possibilities without compromising performance.
