At the European Robotics Forum 2012 <http://www.europeanrobotics12.eu/> KU
Leuven and Intermodalics are organizing a three-part seminar, appealing to
both industry and research institutes, titled:


   1. Introduction to state charts and reusable, modular task specification
   through the Orocos eco-system
   2. Hands-on1: getting started with state charts in the Orocos
eco-system<http://orocos.org/rfsm>
   3. Hands-on2: getting started with instantaneous motion specification
   using constraints (iTaSC) <http://orocos.org/itasc>: reusable and
   modular task specification

*The sessions will be on March 6, 8h30-10h30 + 11h00-12h30 + 13h30-15h00
(Track four).* For more detail consult the European Robotics Forum
program<http://www.europeanrobotics12.eu/program.aspx>

The workshop consists of three rather independent parts. It is advised but
not required to follow the preceding session(s) when attending session two
or three.

   1. The first session is a presentation session, it introduces the basic
   concepts of Orocos application programming, followed by rFSM state charts
   and the iTaSC framework.
   2. The second session is a hands-on session, that aims at making the
   participants familiar with rFSM state charts, which is a powerful though
   easy to use tool for robotic coordination and supervision tasks,
   3. The third sessions is also a hands-on session, that aims at
   introducing the concepts of constraint-based motion specification using the
   iTaSC framework. This framework and its software implementation was
   developed at the KU Leuven during the past years. It's key advantages are
   the composability of (partial) constraints and reusability of the
   constraint specification. The software is an open-source project, which has
   recently reached its 2.0 version.
