ROBOTOP

Robotics Cluster

An online platform for using robots in the industrial and services sector

Under the ROBOTOP project, an open platform that allows robots to be configured in a way that fits the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises is being developed, with the aim of making services, logistics and manufacturing robots available to the mass market. The platform allows users to select pre-configured solutions based on best practice examples and to adapt these to their own company processes. Once a specific robotics system has been designed, 3D simulations can be used to test whether it fits the company’s needs. The platform also helps potential users connect with experienced providers and systems integrators who can help them implement the system. This helps create confidence among users, reduces the time and cost involved in the design process and makes the use of robots accessible and profitable for SMEs.
