Research & Development: What We Build and Why...

Research & Development at RevLab

Research and development at RevLab is hands-on and constraint-driven.

We don’t treat R&D as abstract theory or future promises. We use it to understand how systems behave when they are built, powered on, stressed, broken, and repaired. Every project starts with a real problem and a real limitation: power, cost, reliability, security, environment, or usability.

Our R&D work spans multiple domains because real systems do not exist in isolation:

• Embedded systems and firmware

• IoT devices and field-deployed hardware

• Mechanical design and enclosures

• Power systems and energy storage

• Security, resilience, and failure modes

The goal is not polish or product launches. The goal is understanding, knowing how and why something works, where it fails, and what tradeoffs were made.

How This Work Is Documented

Projects are documented as they happen. That includes early concepts, prototypes, test results, revisions, and dead ends.

If something fails, it stays visible. If a design changes, the reasoning is recorded. This makes the work useful not just as a result, but as a process others can learn from.

R&D Outputs

Below are examples of work produced through RevLab R&D. These may include write-ups, building logs, designing files, tools, or long-running experiments.
