On May 20, 2011, a group of Korean researches visited the Technical University of Eindhoven (NL), in order to get to know European research projects funded by the 7th Framework Programme (FP7). The delegation learned about the concepts and aims of RoboEarth and how the project is managed.
The RoboEarth team made the effort to build a nice demo for ICRA2011. The project's Object Recorder was presented at the RoboEarth booth, showing how to build 3d models of objects and share them through RoboEarth with ease. The demo attracted a lot of interest and feedback, as visitors could use the system themselves in […]

An international committee has been formed to have a direct link to the industrial world. This committee consists of representatives of leading industries world wide. On February 7-8, 2011, a dedicated workshop has been organized at the ETH in Zurich, with the following objectives: Transfer of (long term) industrial requirements to the project. […]
The second RoboEarth workshop took place from January 24th to 28th in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The goal, which was successfully achieved, was to use the AMIGO robot, that was built at the Technical University of Eindhoven, to serve a drink to a patient in a hospital room environment. Therefore the robot should benefit from knowledge […]
At the IROS 2010 workshop, members of the RoboEarth team participated in the discussion on how the autonomous robotics community may tackle more and more complex manipulation activities, such as doing household chores, in more and more realistic operating environments such as human working and living environments. One of the biggest challenges in such applications […]
