The MOBOTS group of the Biorobotics Lab, of EPFL, is an internationally renowned research unit in the field of robotic system design. It has a large experience in the compact design of mobile and educational robots. Among recent results are robots for education, equipping thousands of schools, and autonomous robots interacting with zebrafish. MOBOTS has also previously developed robots that interact with other animals including cockroaches and chickens. Their central role in HIVEOPOLIS is to design the robotics parts of the hive and to ensure interactions between the robotics and both bees and other system interfaces.

Scientific group from the Faculty of Information Technologies from Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies has more than 10 years scientific and industrial experience in the IT sector working on enterprise level solutions. Group has implemented different IT solutions in different scientific projects in various agricultural and multi-discipline fields. Group previously focused on design and implementation of automated systems for data processing and analysis. In this new project, HIVEOPOLIS, our main task is to provide information for futuristic bee colonies about the environmental conditions. As well communication mechanisms between colonies will be developed.
