6th annual IEEE Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (IEEE CASE)

The 6th annual IEEE Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (IEEE CASE), sponsored by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS), will be held on August 21-24, 2010 in Marriott Eaton Centre Hotel, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Hrishi will present a paper titled "CAD-Enhanced Workspace Optimization for Parallel Manipulators: A Case Study” at this conference. His poster with this paper was also selected as one of the finalist for "Best Poster Award" - wish him luck!

In addition to paper presentation, working with Quanser Inc. & MapleSoft, Dr, Krovi will present our work in the "Advancing Mechatronics Research and Innovation and Efficient High-fidelity Modeling of Physical Systems" workshop (link).

Since the conference is only 2 hrs drive away, Leng-Feng, Madu, Xiao Bo, Priyanshu and Hrishi are also volunteers for this conference!

More info will be available after the conference!

ASME 2010 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC 2010)

The ASME 2010 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC) and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (CIE) took place from August 15-18, 2010 at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montréal.

Our lab presented 3 papers in this conference:
-Madu presented a paper titled "Kinematic- Static- and Workspace Analysis of a 6- P-U-S Parallel Manipulator";
-Hrishi presented a paper titled "Role of Automated Symbolic Generation of Equations of Motion in Mechanism and Robotics Education"; and
-Priyanshu presented the paper titled "Simulation-based Design of Exoskeletal Using Musculoskeletal Analysis" (which is also the CIE 2010 Best Paper).

Best Paper Award - ASME 2010 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC 2010)

The ASME 2010 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC) and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (CIE) took place during August 15-18, 2010 at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montréal.

Congratulations to Priyanshu, Madu, Leng-Feng, Dr. Mendel and Dr. Krovi, for the paper titled "Simulation-Based Design of Exoskeletons Using Musculoskeletal Analysis" was selected as this year CIE 2010 Best Paper Award! Dr. Frederick Proctor, Chair of the ASME Computers and Information in Engineering Division wrote in the letter: "We went through a thorough review process that included vetting of the papers through our Technical Committee chairs with a second round of reviews at the Executive Committee level, and your paper stood out as an example of excellent technical results on a difficult problem with cross-disciplinary relevance to computers and information in engineering."

Priyanshu, Madu, Hrishi and Dr. Krovi went to the conference and Priyanshu presented the paper.
