Bobbie
Bobbie Robotics, inspired by recent Dutch Robotics developments, is working to set up a Dutch industry with the ability to develop care assistance robots. Rising health care costs and a shortage of skilled care could be offset with the design a robot…
Eye RHAS
The Eye RHAS is a breakthrough in Dutch Robotics for vitreoretinal eye surgery. It allows the surgeon to feel the same pressures the robot enacts upon the patient, minimizing risk of injury during the surgery. The machine also replaces the steady human…
KSERA
The KSERA robotics project, is a research project about service robots for the elderly. The main goal of this project is to develop a Socially Assistive Robot that can help the elderly in their daily lives, especially people with Chronic Obstructive…
McArm (Motion Controlled Arm Support)
The McArm is a Dutch Robotics project that aims aims to develop a smart dynamic arm support system to provide extra support for people without all their strength and motor functions, such as in people who have had a stroke. The McArm is a smart system…
PITON
The PITON is the first steerable MRI compatible robotics instrument. This Dutch robotics project is a needle that is equipped with sensors that will pick up signals for the surrounding tissue. This will enable the robot to find the best way to administer…
R3-COP
The goal of the robotics project R3-Cop is to create lower cost, cutting edge autonomous robots that can work cooperatively by interconnecting multiple industries that at first glance have very little in common. It is supported by 11 European countries,…
RoboEarth
RoboEarth is a project involving European universities and companies like TU Eindhoven and Phillips. The goal is to pave the way for rapid advances in machine cognition and behavior, by developing a world wide web for robots so they can share and learn…
SOFIE
The Sofie robotics project at the Dutch Eindhoven University focuses on building a robotic arm system for surgery. Unlike previous robotic arms, Sofie has haptic feedback. The surgeon can actually feel the pressure that Sofie is providing to the patient.
Tech United
The University of Eindhoven has a robotics soccer team, Team Tech United, that participates every year in the RoboCup. The team consists of about 80 members, working together to create a winning team. Their goal is to become the world champions every…
Teleoperated Service Robot (Rose)
The Dutch Robotics project: Teleoperated Service Robot (Rose) will help elderly and disabled people in their home while being controlled elsewhere by an operator. ROSE will hopefully be ready in a few years and relieve some healthcare system stress.
Tulip
The Dutch Robotics team developed TUlip, a soccer playing robot. This 1.20 meter tall robot has 14 degrees of freedom and special body armor, making it ideal for soccer. TUlip can function fully autonomously and has special sensors in its feet.
WikiTherapist
The Dutch robotics WikiTherapist project intends to develop software for therapists to develop and run their own easy-to-use programs for their patients. The therapist simply indicates what he/she hopes to achieve and the software does the rest.
