ROBOTCORE™ allows robotic engineers to create ROS and ROS 2 API-compatible Intellectual Property (IP) cores that increase the robot's performance, including latency and throughput. These “robot cores” make robots faster, more deterministic and power-efficient . ROBOTCORE™ launches with support for more than 10 development boards, including the most popular hardware acceleration solutions to build robots with ROS.
The framework builds on top of proven open-source software in robotics, such as ROS 2, so that roboticists don't spend time redeveloping what already works and focus instead on delivering higher performance robotic applications. While providing a vendor-agnostic ROS-centric development flow, ROBOTCORE™ solves customer design challenges in robotic areas including sensing, perception, mapping, localization, motion control, low-level control or actuation, with speedups surpassing 500x modern processors .
“Robots are networks of networks, with sensors passing data to compute technologies and actuators. These networks can be understood as the nervous system of the robot. Like with the human nervous system, low latency and real-time information is fundamental for the robot to behave coherently. Faster robots (or with more dexterity) require faster computations. Hardware acceleration with ROBOTCORE™ empowers exactly this. With ROS being the common language roboticists use to build “robot brains”, ROBOTCORE™ extends ROS and deals with GPU and FPGA vendor-proprietary libraries, empowering hardware acceleration across silicon vendors”. – Víctor Mayoral-Vilches , Acceleration Robotics, Founder.

Demand for Tech Services in Europe Continues to Surge, Led by AI-Driven Infrastructure Spending in Q3: ISG Index™12.10.2026 10:00:00 CEST | Press release
Combined market up 56%, as infrastructure spend more than doublesManaged services up 12%, as enterprises look for savings to fund AI Surging AI demand propelled Europe’s technology services market to a new high in the third quarter, as infrastructure spending more than doubled and traditional managed services grew by double digits, the latest state-of-the-industry report from Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, finds. The EMEA ISG Index™, which measures commercial outsourcing contracts with annual contract value (ACV) of US $5 million or more, shows third-quarter ACV for the combined market (both managed services and cloud-based infrastructure and software services) soared 56 percent—its fastest growth in eight years—to US $14.9 billion. It was the fourth straight quarter that combined ACV growth has exceeded 20 percent, averaging 39 percent in that span. “The European market is absolutely roaring right now,” said
