Friends - A workshop covering advanced topics in OpenSim will be held at Stanford University Wednesday-Friday, August 12-14, 2009. It is an opportunity to learn more about how OpenSim works "under the hood" and get supervised, hands-on assistance with problems you bring to the workshop. On the first day, a conceptual overview of OpenSim will be provided. The second and third days will be devoted to working on problems that you bring to the workshop. For example, you might want to generate simulations from motion capture data collected in your lab, add arms to your gait model, write a new muscle model or controller, or analyze the results of your simulations. You will have the opportunity to work in small breakout groups with OpenSim experts on your research problems. The workshop depends on you bringing specific research and development projects that you will work on during the workshop. To better contour the workshop to fit your interests, please let us know what topics you would like to see covered and what problem you would like to bring to the breakout sessions. We will limit the workshop to 20 participants, so please register soon.
