They think they’re all robots… They are now
It has been announced that the University of Twente’s RoboTeam, a multi-disciplinary student group that aspires to innovate in both robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), has received sponsorship from Nexperia, the former Standard Products division of NXP. The team competed in RoboCup 2017, the world championships of robot soccer in Japan which focuses mainly on AI.
Nexperia is supporting the team both financially and with products and technical support. “It is important for Nexperia to sponsor RoboTeam Twente as we believe we must facilitate the engineers of the future and at the same time be inspired and triggered by their innovations and ideas,” said Gerton Jansen, SVP Marketing and Sales Nexperia. “It is a win-win situation. RoboTeam Twente will take part in the Small Size League - you could say we fulfil a similar role as the industry leader miniature packaging.”
Jim Hoekstra, Software & External Relations, at Twente’s RoboTeam added: “We are very grateful to be sponsored by Nexperia, especially since we share common philosophies concerning efficiency, miniaturisation, quality and innovation. We are looking forward to a highly-fruitful cooperation with Nexperia, which has begun very well with the immediate delivery of products straight after our agreement was signed.”
