First International Workshop on MORSE and its Applications |
June 2013, LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France |
|
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.

* Faster-than-realtime simulation * Discrete Event System ('timeline of events')
-> Lars, Arnaud - MORSE side? client side? - Representing/executing timeline of events - What must be exposed by MORSE? - Design of the user interface?
* Place of human/humans in MORSE
-> Gregoire, Severin, Aurelie
* MORSE as a turnkey solution for continuous integration in robotics
-> Florian, Arnaud - Headless simulation
* Humanoid robots in MORSE & the state of armatures in MORSE
Submissions
You can submit tutorials/talks proposals with short abstracts until the 25/05/2013 on the morse-dev mailing list. Based on the submissions, the final program will be collectively decided to be as awesome as possible.
