Simbios Dissemination Wiki Contents


We are excited to be applying for the Google 2014 Summer of Code (SoC), under the umbrella organization Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF). We encourage participants to explore individual software offerings before submitting a proposal. The software projects all have extensive documentation, active discussion forums, and lists of bugs and feature requests that can provide a more in-depth understanding of the software and its users needs. SoC participants can propose project ideas based on those listed below or come up with their own ideas.

To submit a proposal for a Simbios project, please do so through OSRF and follow their guidelines for proposals. See http://wiki.osrfoundation.org/gsoc14.

Software Overview

Simbios develops software to simulate biological structures and how they move. These simulations help researchers answer questions about how these structures work, why the structures sometimes fail to work, and what treatments could successfully restore their function. Two of our software projects are focused on biomechanical applications and are related to the mission of OSRF:

Software

Description

Language(s)

License

OpenSim

User extensible software system to develop and visualize models of human and animal musculoskeletal structures and create dynamic simulations of movement. OpenSim has been used by researchers to study humanoid robotics.

API: ANSI C++; GUI: Java

API: Apache 2.0

Simbody

Open source physics engine for high performance, high accuracy simulation of articulated multibody systems with special attention to the needs of biomedical simulation and robotics. Simbody has been integrated with OSRF's Gazebo software.

C++

Apache 2.0
