TU Delft to receive EU grant for smart industrial robots

TU Delft researchers are set to receive an EU grant of €7.6 million to develop open-source robotics software. The move will bring smart industrial robots within the reach of Dutch companies, since half of the budget will be available for partners in industry. The new ROSIN (ROS-Industrial quality-assured robot software components) project is being funded by a grant from the European Horizon 2020 programme.
The grant is supporting the worldwide open-source project ‘ROS’, which stands for ‘Robot Operating System’. It will be used on software to enable robots to see, understand 3D images and even come up with their own ways of moving quickly and safely (News Item TU Delft, 23 March 2017).
