Robot Care Systems is one of the two European companies that have received the first ROSIN grants. The Dutch company has received 52,000 euros to consolidate and open-source a robotics language that is modular and extendable by users and allows to program robots in ROS at a more abstract level.

The other company, Ensenso GmbH from Germany, got a 15,000 euros grant to create a ROS interface to the Ensenso stereo cameras.

The ROSIN Focused Technical Projects (FTPs) grant programme funds robot software developments that contribute to the ROS-Industrial open-source community.

The ROSIN project is offering more than 3 million euros in grants for robotic open-software developments. The goal is to increase the ROS-Industrial codebase with tools to create more and “smarter” robot capabilities. The ROSIN call for FTPs is permanently open, and new applications are being evaluated periodically.
