Asimovo Announces their Smarter Robotics Research and Education Proposition for all Dutch Universities via SURF
Rotterdam, The Netherlands, October 2024 Asimovo is excited to officially announce their new Robotics proposition for all Dutch Universities, Applied Universities and Researchers is available to purchase via SURF.
Robotics will touch all areas of society. Advanced robotics, combined with other technologies such as AI, simulation, cloud computing and even supercomputing (high performance computing), will be influential in accelerating change. Robots will not only be able to perform new tasks, they will also be data collectors and processors covering all areas of research and beyond.
SURF has made the adoption of Asimovo available for its members through a model agreement. SURF has over 100 Universities, Applied Universities and Research Institutes as its members. SURF wants to ensure it offers its members the most cutting edge innovations. Ensuring education in the Netherlands can compete globally. This includes having access to both the latest robotics tool-kits and the ability to harness and use complex cloud based capabilities.
“Asimovo makes it easier for Dutch universities and researchers to keep close to cutting edge robotics.“ says Asimovo CEO Christine Fraser-Boer “We are excited as not only does this simplify and speed up the procurement and contracting process it means that robotics students and research projects can now also benefit more easily from the Asimovo collaborative platform.”
A number of universities have already used the Asimovo platform. Many large research projects often run for long periods of time and involve multiple knowledge and commercial partners.
“When I first heard of Asimovo, I was directly interested. I see one of the biggest challenges that we have is how to educate students in an efficient way in the limited time available. Students have a huge challenge to get up and running to have a development environment available. To start working on what we want to teach them. I think the most important benefit of accessing Asimovo via SURF would be the increase in quality of education we could provide.” Jan Benders, Program Manager Control Systems, HAN University of Applied Sciences
“Accessing Asimovo via SURF would really help us to set up new courses and students quickly. A platform like Asimovo, is a way to easily share software with partners. That really helps us. in not only conveying a message, but also to give them something they can actually work within the limited time they actually work with us and to learn from it.”Kees van Tefelen, Researcher, Saxion University of Applied Sciences
The procurement, contracting and registration process is now complete. With SURF members now being able to purchase and access Asimovo through Surf. To express your interest or request to join the program contact SURF directly
