#acl All:read,write [[http://www.openrobots.org/wiki/morse/events/workshop_june_2013?action=edit|[Edit this wiki page]]] || First International Workshop on MORSE and its Applications || ||June 2013, LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France || || {{attachment:morse_logo.png|Come and ride the MORSE!|align="middle"}} || == 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: 1. presenting recent highlights in MORSE development and applications ; 2. offering a serie of hand-on tutorials to introduce MORSE usage to a large audience ; 3. 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 [[http://www.openrobots.org/morse/doc/latest/user/installation.html | requirements and installation]]). You are also invited to get in touch with the community through the [[https://sympa.laas.fr/sympa/subscribe/morse-users|morse-users]] mailing-list. == Attendees == ''[[http://www.openrobots.org/wiki/morse/events/workshop_june_2013?action=edit|Add your name here (+ email or link to personal page)]]'', followed by your main topic of interest. || Simon Lacroix || simon.lacroix@laas.fr || https://homepages.laas.fr/simon || Field robotics (multi-robots scenarios) || || Florian Lier || flier@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de || https://www.cit-ec.de/users/flier || Testing Real World Scenarios || || Felix Messmer || felix.messmer@ipa.fraunhofer.de || http://miror.eu || Visualization for novel Robotic Machine system || || Lars Kunze || l.kunze@cs.bham.ac.uk || http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~kunzel || Long-term simulation; simulation for integration || || Matthias Gruhler || matthias.gruhler@ipa.fraunhofer.de || http://miror.eu || Visualization for novel Robotic Machine system (again ;-) ) || || Felix Ruess || felix.ruess@dlr.de || [[http://dlr.de/rm/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-7903/13726_read-35384/|DLR multicopter group]] || simulation of mixed UAV/UGV real-world scenarios (including dynamics and stereo cameras) || || David Marquez || dmarquez@laas.fr || https://homepages.laas.fr/dmarquez/ || Multi Robot Systems Applications || || Charles Lesire || charles.lesire@onera.fr || http://www.onera.fr/staff/charles-lesire || Multi-robot systems / distributed simulation || || Séverin Lemaignan || severin.lemaignan@epfl.ch || http://people.epfl.ch/severin.lemaignan || Support for Nao || || Arnaud Degroote || adegroot@laas.fr || http://www.laas.fr/~adegroot || || || Pierrick Koch || pierrick.koch@laas.fr || http://www.laas.fr/~pkoch || Multi-robot (and make MORSE rock even more!) || || Christian Dondrup || cdondrup@lincoln.ac.uk || http://staff.lincoln.ac.uk/cdondrup || Long-term simulation || || Johan Philips || johan.philips@mech.kuleuven.be || http://www.mech.kuleuven.be/en/pma/research/robotics || Multi-mobile robot coordination || || TAZIR Mohamed Lamine || mltazir@laas.fr || http://www.laas.fr/2-27815-Directory.php?id=17765 || || Gregoire Milliez || gmilliez@laas.fr || http://homepages.laas.fr/gmilliez || HRI || {{{#!wiki caution Attention: For practical reasons, we may accept only a limited number of participants (~30). }}} - I'm interested in beginner tutorials 11 - I'm interested in advanced tutorials on MORSE usage 29 - I'm interested in advanced tutorials on development of new components in MORSE 32 - I'd like to discuss/draft specific features 33 - I'd like to code a specific feature with the help of others 20 - I'd like to discuss the road-map of MORSE 31 - I'd like to learn how to code in the core parts of MORSE 21 - I'd like to participate to bug hunting 10 Felix Mesmer: - making use of the blender python api as well as constraints/modifiers within morse - using the sensors included in MORSE - low level motion control (interpolation) - discussion on whether/how blender animation can be used within MORSE Lars: - faster-than-real-time simulation - discrete event system (timelines) - cloud-based simulation Simon: - plugin ``professional'' simulator with Morse Olivier: - simulation or humanoid robots Lars: - long-presentation on strands Florian: - testing with Morse == Preliminary program == {{{#!wiki caution This program is provisional.
