SCONE is free and open-source software for predictive simulations of human, animal and robot motion. In SCONE, everything needed to perform a predictive simulation is bundled in what is called a scenario, which consists of:

• A Model of the human, animal or robot you wish to simulate. Make sure your model is suitable for predictive simulations.
• A Controller that produces input signals for the model actuators. Controllers can be open-loop or closed-loop (or a combination).
• An Objective that describes the goal task for which you wish to optimize, through a weighted combination of Measures.
• An Optimizer that attempts to find the model and control parameters that optimally perform the specified objective.
