NewControl (LIDAR/RADAR/fusion), ArchitectECA2030 (monitoring/safety), and AI4CSM (connected mobility) all center on sensing and perception for automated driving.
UAB TERAGLOBUS
Lithuanian SME specializing in sensor perception, safety monitoring, and embedded AI for autonomous and connected vehicles.
Their core work
UAB Teraglobus is a Lithuanian technology SME specializing in embedded systems and sensor technologies for autonomous and connected vehicles. Their work spans perception systems (LIDAR, RADAR, sensor fusion), reliability monitoring, and fail-operational architectures for highly automated cars. They contribute technical components and testing expertise to large European automotive digitization initiatives, focusing on making autonomous driving systems safe, trustworthy, and predictable.
What they specialise in
NewControl focused on fail-operational cognitive systems, while ArchitectECA2030 addressed trustable architectures with acceptable residual risk and predictability of failures.
AI4DI targeted AI across cloud, IoT, and human-machine collaboration; AI4CSM applied automotive intelligence to shared mobility.
AI4CSM introduced embedded computing and sustainable propulsion topics, signaling a move toward on-board processing and green mobility.
How they've shifted over time
Teraglobus entered H2020 in 2019 focused on sensor hardware and perception — LIDAR, RADAR, fusion algorithms, and cloud-based AI for industrial IoT. By 2020-2021, their focus shifted toward system-level reliability, safety monitoring, failure prediction, and embedded computing for connected vehicles. The trajectory shows a clear move from component-level sensing toward full-system trustworthiness and on-vehicle intelligence.
Teraglobus is moving from sensor-level work toward system-level safety assurance and embedded AI for zero-emission connected vehicles — positioning them for the next wave of autonomous mobility projects.
How they like to work
Teraglobus operates exclusively as a participant, never coordinating, which is typical for a specialized SME contributing targeted technical expertise to large consortia. With 111 unique partners across 18 countries from just 4 projects, they work in very large consortia (averaging ~28 partners per project), characteristic of ECSEL/KDT-style joint undertaking projects. This makes them experienced at integrating into complex multi-partner environments and delivering defined work packages.
Despite only 4 projects, Teraglobus has built a remarkably wide network of 111 partners across 18 countries — a direct result of participating in large-scale ECSEL-type automotive and digitization initiatives. Their network spans most of Western and Central Europe's automotive technology ecosystem.
What sets them apart
As a Lithuanian SME in the autonomous driving space, Teraglobus occupies a rare niche — Baltic-based automotive technology expertise embedded within major pan-European vehicle safety consortia. Their combination of sensor perception, safety monitoring, and failure prediction makes them a practical partner for anyone needing testing, validation, or embedded systems work for automated vehicles. For consortium builders, they bring SME agility with large-project experience and a cost-competitive Baltic location.
