RobMoSys for more software quality
With the involvement of the robotics community, the RobMoSys project aims to establish an open and agile software ecosystem for a wide range of applications, thereby increasing the scalability and quality of software development in robotics.
Specifically, RobMoSys (Composable Models and Software for Robotics) aims to use model-driven methods and tools and apply them to existing technologies to ensure the large-scale integration of different robotics platforms and improve tools that have already been developed for further use. The project is establishing a methodology that focuses on the composability of building blocks. The aim is to ensure modularity and the management of defined system properties at model level independently of the existing robotics platforms and existing implementations.
RobMoSys involves external partners from the robotics community via two open calls for proposals in a multi-stage funding process and thus passes on 50% of the project budget to the robotics community. At the first public RobMoSys workshop, which will take place on March 22 at the European Robotics Forum in Edinburgh, all stakeholders and potential end users will have the opportunity to find out more about the project and how they can get involved. Prof. Christian Schlegel from Ulm University of Applied Sciences and Prof. Herman Bruyninckx from the University of Leuven (Belgium) will explain the aims of the project and answer open questions. Further workshops are planned in the course of the project in order to take up and consider the ideas, recommendations and requirements of all stakeholders.
The RobMoSys project is coordinated by the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA, France). Other partners are Comau (Italy), Eclipse Foundation Europe (Germany), EUnited AISBL (Belgium), Ulm University of Applied Sciences (Germany), KU Leuven (Belgium), PAL Robotics (Spain), Siemens (Germany) and the Technical University of Munich (Germany).
