SIMPAR2010 Workshop

The workshop will be held on the 2nd International Conference on Simulation, Modeling and Programming for Autonomous Robots (SIMPAR) in Darmstadt, Germany, November 15, 2010.

Title

Simulation Technologies in the Robot Development Process

Motivation and Objectives

The recent developments of robot simulation/emulation tools and frameworks for a wide-range of application areas (e.g. hardware emulation, behavior simulation, and more) has attracted the robotics community. This technology has the potential to accelerate the development of robot systems and applications in general. However, the smooth integration and interplay between the robot development process and this technology is rather unclear. The benefit from such emerging technologies for the robotics community concerning to accelerate the development of novel robotics applications will be discussed in this workshop.

We are interested in experience reports on the application of simulation and emulation technologies in the development of real-world robotic applications. The workshop targets both researchers and practitioners in service robotics, who work on complete service robot implementations, robot simulation and emulation technologies, and robot software frameworks.
