Two European companies have received the first ROSIN grants. The ROSIN Focused Technical Projects (FTPs) grant programme funds robot software developments that contribute to the ROS-Industrial open-source community.
Ensenso GmbH in Germany has received a grant of EUR 15k to create a ROS interface to the Ensenso stereo cameras. Robot Care Systems, in The Netherlands, has received EUR 52k to consolidate and open-source a robotics language that is modular and extendable by users and allows to program robots in ROS at a more abstract level.
The ROSIN project is offering more than 3 million EUR in grants for robotic open-software developments. The goal is to increase the ROS-Industrial codebase with tools to create more and “smarter” robot capabilities. The ROSIN call for FTPs is permanently open, and new applications are being evaluated periodically.
