ROSIN: digital industrial platform for robotics
Themes: Robotics, Software technology & Intelligent systems
Late prototype
A TRL is a measure to indicate the matureness of a developing technology. When an innovative idea is discovered it is often not directly suitable for application. Usually such novel idea is subjected to further experimentation, testing and prototyping before it can be implemented. The image below shows how to read TRL’s to categorise the innovative ideas.

Why?
Advanced robot capabilities promise more flexibility and productivity in new tasks, affordable for SMEs. The bottleneck for widespread application in industry is the limited availability of industrial quality robot software.
How?
Robot Operating System for Industry (ROS-Industrial) builds on open-source software to develop advanced robots. Via education, quality-assurance tools, community building and funding, ROSIN promotes market application of robotics in industry.
When?
By 2020, ROS-Industrial will be the standard platform for robotics, with more than 50 successful industrial systems installed, 1000 engineers trained, and a self-sustaining community of developers and users.
