We are pleased to announce the winners of the OpenSim <a href="http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8080/display/OpenSim/Dynamic+Walker+Competition+January+2014" target="_blank">Dynamic Walker Challenge</a>. Geena Doak, Matthew Handford, and Alex MacIntosh each created
dynamic walkers to traverse a complex terrain in OpenSim. See their <a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGBiefGDmSuQ-Z00FRcQpfbgRowMIxPKJ" target="_blank"> videos</a> on the OpenSim YouTube page.<br><font size="4"><br>
<b>OpenSim Symposium at the World Congress of Biomechanics</b></font><br>
The World Congress of Biomechanics in Boston will feature a symposium showcasing research from <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/group/opensim/support/event_details.html?id=99&title=OpenSim-Symposium-at-the-World-Congress-of-Biomechanics" target="_blank">nine investigators</a>
from the OpenSim community. The symposium is scheduled for
the morning of Thursday, July 10. Learn more about the World Congress

<br><br><div><font size="4"><b>OpenSim Workshop at the Summer School on Neurorehabilitation</b></font><br></div><div>Massimo
Sartori and Monica Reggiani will lead an OpenSim workshop at SSNR 2014
in Baiona, Spain. Participants will be introduced to the theory behind
simulation of
musculoskeletal movement in OpenSim, along with the framework of the
software architecture via hands on Matlab scripting exercises. Read more

<br></div><font size="4"><b>New Shared Simulation Data for Running</b></font><br>Sam Hamner has recently posted the full dataset from his study of <a href="https://simtk.org/home/nmbl_running" target="_blank">multi-speed running</a>,
so others can reproduce and extend his work. Providing shared resources
for the biomechanics community is one of the core goals of the OpenSim
project. We encourage you to share your models and simulations after
publication. Let us know if you do and we'll add a link to our <a href="https://simtk.org/home/opensim_data/" target="_blank">data library</a> or <a href="http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8080/display/OpenSim/Musculoskeletal+Models" target="_blank">model repository</a> to improve the visibility of your research. <br clear="all">
