Challenges in Collaborating Between Research and Engineering Teams
There is a crucial divide between research and engineering teams, where the core issue lies in the discrepancy between the theoretical soundness of research and the practicality of implementation. Research teams often focus on creating solid specifications, believing their job is done, while implementation teams face the challenge of turning these specifications into functional realities, which can be far from the idealized version in research papers. This discrepancy highlights the need for better collaboration and understanding between research and engineering teams to ensure that theoretical work can be effectively translated into practical implementations for successful outcomes.
