Consortium

Proyectos y Sistemas de Mantenimiento SL (eProsima) is an innovative SME specializing in high-performance network middleware, with a particular focus on adhering to the OMG (Object Management Group) standard known as Data Distribution Service for Real-time Systems (DDS).

At the core of eProsima's offerings lies its flagship product, eProsima Fast DDS. This lightweight, open-source implementation of DDS provides direct access to the underlying protocol, the Real Time Publish Subscribe (RTPS) Protocol.

eProsima plays a pivotal role in advancing the Robotic Operating System (ROS), with eProsima Fast DDS serving as the default middleware for ROS 2. Recognized for its significant contributions, eProsima has earned a place on the ROS2 Technical Steering Committee. Alongside esteemed partners like Microsoft, Amazon, Intel, ARM, LG, Bosch, Toyota, and Open Robotics, eProsima collaboratively shapes the roadmap of this leading robotic framework.

eProsima is a member of the standardization body called Object Management Group (OMG), creating and implementing middleware standards, such as DDS, RTPS, DDS-XRCE, RPC over DDS, CDR, etc.

eProsima will assume responsibility for project management (WP1), sharing leadership with DFKI and overseeing technical coordination. With a proven track record in coordinating European Projects and shaping community roadmaps, particularly in ROS and FIWARE, eProsima is well-suited for this role.

Moreover, eProsima will head WP6 (System and Tools), tasked with developing a platform for integrating data sources with AI algorithms. Leveraging its extensive experience in middleware development and integration tools across various organizations and communities (including ROS, FIWARE, SESAR, and Dronecode), eProsima will ensure seamless integration and functionality.

Additionally, eProsima will play a crucial role in several tasks within WP8: Communication, Dissemination, Collaboration, and Exploitation. Utilizing its strong presence within the FIWARE and ROS communities, eProsima will allocate significant resources to these tasks, enhancing project visibility and impact.
