BRICS - Best Practice in Robotics
3rd BRICS Research Camp on Control and Coordination
Bertinoro, Italy
November 14 - 18, 2011
We invite Ph.D. students and renowned experts with a strong interest in
the combination of software engineering and control of robots and in
particular in mobile manipulators from all over the world to gather for
one week in a stimulating environment to discuss the state of the art
and challenges, develop software, and perform experiments in this
research area. The research camp has a strong experimental character,
where software is explored and evaluated towards its use and reuse for
some given tasks and challenges.
Provided input:
* an inspiring working environment,
* travel grants covering airfare and full-board accommodation,
* a set of KUKA youBot mobile manipulators with interfaces at current,
velocity, and position level (for all joints of platform and arm),
* a collection of control and coordination software for real-time
motion and interaction control of mobile manipulators (position,
velocity, force, torque, impedance),
* experimental settings for exploring and evaluating existing software,
* a stage for junior and senior researcher to discuss together best
practice in control and coordination.
Expected outcome:
* experimentally driven software reviews of control and coordination
algorithms and libraries with concrete suggestions for improvements,
* experimental verification and revision of a provided software
framework for control and coordination,
* suggestions for harmonized interfaces and cross-platform tool support,
* joint software and/or paper publications (in the aftermath of
research camp).
Applications should include:
* CV with publication list
* short description of research (plans) and experience with software in
control and coordination
and should be sent to:
