Pētnieks Jānis Ārents EDI strādā no 2016. gada. 2023. gadā ieguvis zinātnes doktora (Ph. D.) grādu nozarē “Inženierzinātnēs un tehnoloģijās: elektrotehnikā, elektronikā, informācijas un komunikācijas tehnoloģijās” Rīgas Tehniskajā universitātē – RTU, (Rīga, Latvija). Galvenie pētniecības virzieni saistīti ar inovatīvu digitālo tehnoloģiju izmantošanu industrijas pielietojumos, tā skaitā datorredzes un mākslīgā intelekta sistēmām industrijas procesu automatizācijai un mobilo robotu sistēmas. Aktīvi iesaistīts EDI robotikas virziena attīstībā. Galvenās kompetences un pētniecības intereses tādās jomās kā: industriālie roboti, mobilie roboti, mobilie manipulatori un to vadības metodes; ROS; ROS2; 3D modelēšana; mākslīgais intelekts; automatizācija; kiber-fizikālās sistēmas.
