Industrial robots more flexible thanks to soccer and care robots

22 February 2018

Dealing with the unexpected is a routine task for TU Eindhoven’s (TU/e) soccer and care robots. After all, you never know what an opponent or user will do next. Industrial robots, too, can benefit from increased independence and autonomy. For this reason, the university has set up a research project together with industrial partners to provide mobile industrial robots with an open world view that adapts to changes in the environment.
An important aspect of this is that the robots learn to understand what they see, allowing them to adapt better to new circumstances and situations. The project has the name FAST: new Frontiers in Autonomous Systems Technology (News Item TU/e, 15 January 2018).
