\title{
    \textbf{First MORSE users survey}\\[1cm]
    August 2012\\[1cm]
}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

During a month, in August 2012, we have run a survey to better understand who
are the users of MORSE, what are their use-cases and what are their needs.

In total, 34 peoples participated, from 13 countries.

	\item More into Player/Stage and ROS, have used Morse in the passing.
	\item Multi robots configuration for a Convoy of vehicles
	\item I'm using it mainly to simulate a robotic car and test some algorithms learned in Udacity.com's class CS373.
	\item Multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV)
	\item Reasoning based on sensory information with decision taking in unstructured, outdoor environments.
	\item Surgery
	\item Swarm of aerial robots
	\item Segway-style dynamic robot

\bcbar[label=Better logging/monitoring tools (17.9\%),color=\barcolor]{5}
\bcbar[label=Better integration with ROS (35.7\%),color=\barcolor]{10}
\bcbar[label=Better performances (21.4\%),color=\barcolor]{6}

\bcbar[label=Easier installation (39.3\%),color=\barcolor]{11}
\bcbar[label=Better documentation (50.0\%),color=\barcolor]{14}
\bcbar[label=Ability to speed-up/slow-down the simulation (35.7\%),color=\barcolor]{10}
\bcbar[label=Ability to record and replay a simulation (35.7\%),color=\barcolor]{10}
\end{bchart}

More details:
\begin{itemize}
	\item We could build a website to share robots, much like Blendersap.com.
	\item Easier to install is big time - if there can be deb packages (like gazebo) then it can be wonderful.
