Vanderlande has joined the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU\/e) and other partners to create industrial robots that will operate with increased independence and autonomy. The project \u2013 called FAST (new Frontiers in Autonomous Systems Technology) \u2013 aims to develop mobile robots with increased flexibility, which allows them to function more effectively in environments that undergo frequent change.<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Vanderlande, TU\/e, and other partners are co-investing \u20ac 1.5m in the research project, combined with funding support from the Topsector HTSM (TKI allowance). FAST will begin in January 2018 and is expected to run for four years with the aim of creating mobile industrial robots that can adapt rapidly to changes in their environment. This will deliver a number of advantages, for example, a robot\u2019s working area would not have to be fenced off or demarcated.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This will be achieved by creating a so-called \u2018semantic world model\u2019, in which a robot can give meaning to its observations. By recognizing specific situations and objects, it can react appropriately in any given situation. This includes making a distinction between a pallet containing goods, a group of people or a forklift truck. Robots could also be programmed to actively seek information through which they can better assess a situation to perform their tasks more effectively.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Vanderlande\u2019s participation in FAST validates its commitment to innovation, and the applications of robotics across its core markets \u2013 and warehousing in particular. The cooperation between TU\/e and its partners will enable efficient knowledge-sharing through which the development process can be accelerated. This will also help to consolidate The Netherlands\u2019 position as a global leader in the field of mobile robotics.<\/div>\n
\u201cAdvancements in robotics are impossible to ignore in today\u2019s industrial climate,\u201d<\/em> says Vanderlande\u2019s Technology Manager Fred Verstraaten. \u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019re excited to be partnering with the Eindhoven University of Technology to explore the potential for mobile robots. It is one of the leading international centers for engineering science and technology, so we are eager to see what we can create together. The project also demonstrates Vanderlande\u2019s commitment to our customers, who look to us to create innovative solutions that help them to remain competitive.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n
