Background and Scope
Control of mobile robots or other entities, including multi-agent systems, via communication networks (wired or wireless, Internet or LAN) offers challenging research questions. Combinations of tele-operation and tele-presence methods with autonomous decision-making and control actions are needed in order to establish robust solutions in networked robotics applications, including such arenas as sensor networks with mobile components, search and rescue robots for emergency response, planetary exploration, and many others. NetRob 2009 presents a three-day, single-track workshop aimed at promoting development of a theoretical basis for combining control and telecommunication techniques, as well as demonstrating the current state-of-the-art in applications. Workshop areas of focus include, but are not limited to: Networked robots Networked UAVs Control through networks Control of networks Mobile sensor-actuator networks (MAS-NET) Mobile sensor networks Tele-robotics, tele-presence Telematics methods Tele-operations, tele-maintenance Remote control Remote sensor data acquisition Robot path planning Autonomous decision-making and control Robotics Mobile ad hoc networks Communication algorithms Applications of telematics |
