BASIC RESEARCH
• Basic research is a research approach that is entirely
theoretical and aimed at improving or expanding the
knowledge-base of a particular field of study. It focuses on
"knowledge for its own sake" and it is primarily driven by
curiosity and the need to explore the unknown.
• It is also known as fundamental or pure research and it is a
systematic investigation set to achieve a better and more
detailed understanding of a research subject or phenomenon,
not to solve a specific problem.
APPLIED RESEARCH
• Applied research is designed to focus on providing practical
solutions to a specific problem. It is a form of investigation
that entails solution-oriented inquiries into a phenomenon, a
field of study, or a research subject generally employing
empirical methodologies.
• In many cases, applied research is a follow-up research
design for basic research because it further investigates the
outcomes of pure or basic research in order to validate
these findings and apply them to create innovative solutions
to specific problems.

CATEGORIES OF
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH
1. Life Science
2. Applied Science
3. Robotics
4. Innovations
LIFE SCIENCE
Life Science - is a research area where they
focus on science fields that include the
scientific study of living organisms, such as
plants, animals and humans.
LIFE SCIENCE
EXAMPLE:
▪ Antibacterial activity of Katmon (Dillenia
philippinensis rolfe) Against Streptococcus
pyogenes
▪ Hypoglycemic Effect of Serpentina (Andrographis
paniculata) Leaves as a Supplemental Tea for
Type-II Diabetes
APPLIED SCIENCE
Applied Science - is the application or study of
the applications of scientific knowledge for
technological advancement.
APPLIED SCIENCE
EXAMPLE:
▪ Kamantigue Extract as Flourescent Traces
▪ Rambutan Peel Dye as Sensitized Solar Cells
▪ The Use of Algal Polysaccharides Alginates as Bio
Sorbent from Aragan Seaweed (Sargassum
Crassifolium) in the Reduction of Heavy Metal
Ions in Fishponds
ROBOTICS
Robotics - this is an interdisciplinary science
and engineering field dedicated to designing,
building and using mechanical robots.
ROBOTICS
EXAMPLE:
▪ Fighter (Fire extinguishing, Intelligent, Governing,
Heat Sending, Two-way mode, Evading obstacle
Robot)
▪ ABATouch GarBin: Arduino-Based Automated
Touchless Garbage Bin
INNOVATION
Innovation - it is a category of a research
problem which is more concerned with an
inventive new product or service than with an
incremental one.
