Call For Papers:  ASME 2014 International Design & Engineering Technical
Conferences
The 10th edition of the MSNDC (Multibody Systems, Nonlinear Dynamics, and
Control)
Formulations for Real-Time Simulation Symposium
August 17-20, 2014, Buffalo, NY
http://www.asmeconferences.org/idetc2014

Our goal in this symposium is to discuss state-of-the-art techniques for
real-time or faster multibody dynamics simulations for articulated
robotic and biomechanical systems.  As demonstrated by the popularity of
simulation-based competitions, from RoboCup to the recent DARPA-sponsored
Virtual Robotics Challenge, there is a clear need for fast and accurate
real-time simulation of complex systems.

We welcome papers that discuss any of the following topics, as well
as related areas of study:

 * Trade-offs between simulation performance and accuracy,
 * Multi-fidelity modeling and simulation,
 * Simulation as an iterative design tool for creating robots and robotic
devices,
 * Simulation for robot software development, regression testing
and continuous integration,
 * Simulation tools for robot user interface design and testing,
 * Simulation for robotic teleoperation (user-in-the-loop) interface
training,
 * Simulation driven predictive robotic control,
 * Simulation driven real-time controller development and
 * Hardware-in-the-loop simulation.
