Studies on the Relationship of Structure to Antimicrobial Properties of Naphthaquinones and other Constituents of Alkanna tinctoria

Abstract

The robot open source software community, in particular\nROS, drastically boosted robotics research. However, a centralized place\nto exchange open hardware designs does not exist. Therefore we launched\nthe Robotic Open Platform (ROP). A place to share and discuss open\nhardware designs. Among others it currently contains detailed descriptions\nof Willow Garage's TurtleBot, the NimbRo-OP created by the University\nof Bonn and the AMIGO robot of Tech United Eindhoven. Eventually,\nROP will contain a collection of aordable hardware components,\nallowing researchers to focus on cutting-edge research on a particular\ncomponent instead of having to design the entire robot from scratch. As\nan example of how the Robotic Open Platform is able to facilitate this\nknowledge transfer, we introduce TURTLE-5k: A redesign of an existing\nsoccer robot by a consortium of our university and companies in the\nwider Eindhoven area. Cooperating with industrial partners resulted in\na signicant cost reduction.
