The ROSIN Education Concept: Fostering ROS Industrial-Related Robotics Education in Europe

Abstract

ROS Industrial (ROS-I) is an effort to deploy the Robot Operating System (ROS) for industrial manufacturing applications. The ROS-I activities are organised by the ROS Industrial consortium (RIC). With the EU-funded project ROSIN, which started in 2017, the ROS-I activities are further supported. The project will give out funds for developing ROS-I components. As a further important measure, the ROSIN project focuses on education measures for training a large number of students and industry professionals to become specialists in ROS-I. In this paper, we outline the broad ROSIN education programme, which consists of a series of summer schools, a professional academy and intends to provide the course contents in Massive Open Online Courses as well.
