Cloud & edge
We all use the cloud, and the cloud also offers many opportunities for research and education. From distributed computing and storage to enabling "AI at the edge", we explore new cloud technologies, trends, architectures and solutions.
Robotics
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.
Being able to deliver better-quality robotics education is important to many SURF members. SURF wants to be able to offer its members the most advanced innovations in robotics education in the Netherlands and prepare the next generation of robotics professionals for global competition.
SURF is exploring a partnership with Asimovo for the benefit of its members. Asimovo has created a cloud-based platform for developing and testing robots. The Asimovo platform today focuses on enabling cloud-based simulation and collaboration around robot development and testing. As we build functionality to help many people work together to define how robotics can help shape the future of how we work, live and play.
