Overview
LEO Robotics (LEO, Center for Service Robotics) is a Dutch robotics knowledge consortium based in Enschede, Netherlands, affiliated with the University of Twente and Saxion Hogeschool. Founded in 2011, LEO aimed to accelerate partnerships between academia and industry in service robotics — covering healthcare, agriculture, inspection, and rehabilitation robotics — through networking events, an innovation platform, and the annual LEO Robotics Congress.
The organization collaborated with national platforms including RoboValley, RoboNED, and SPRINT Robotics. The original website (leorobotics.nl) is now defunct.
