Program overview
final version: PDF
Over three days the program will cover:
- ROS support from hardware OEMs, such as ABB, Denso, Ensenso, Pilz, Roboception, Universal Robots, and others
- how robotics and IT are converging, in methods and business models: deployment and update workflows, cloud, etc
- ROS software development measures and tools to guarantee its quality, such as static code analysis, and newly released packages from commercial organizations
- applications such as aerospace, automotive, logistics
- current EU ROS activities and how to get involved in them
