General
The workshop will take place at LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France on the 6th and 7th of June 2013. The purpose of the workshop is three-fold:
- presenting recent highlights in MORSE development and applications ;
- offering a serie of hand-on tutorials to introduce MORSE usage to a large audience ;
- discussing the road-map for the coming months.
Targeted Audience
The workshop is aimed at a large, academic audience, both novice and experienced MORSE users. Only general familiarity with simulation and robotics is expected. For tutorials, knowledge of the Python language is required. We ask participants to tutorials to first check their system is supported by MORSE and, if possible, install it (see requirements and installation). You are also invited to get in touch with the community through the morse-users mailing-list.
