The purpose of this e-mail is to invite you to participate in the 2017 Workshop on Collaborative Robots (CoRob), which is organized by Manuel Xicoténcatl Pérez, Arturo Lezama León, José Miguel Liceaga Ortiz de la Peña and Rubén Oswaldo Hernández Terrazas from Polytechnic University of Pachuca. CoRob will be held in Autonomous University of Ciudad Juárez, Ciudad Juarez, Mexico on March 29-31, 2017, in conjunction with the main conference The Eight International Conference on the Applications of Digital Information and Web Technologies (ICADIWT 2017).
Robotics to been evolving to the extent that technologies are increased, and since the population will multiply in 2060, thus the number of services, so it is imperative to count on the support of partners, as is the case Robots, which will give way to another type of entity such as automata (agents). However, you will need to have specialized techniques to ensure that such mechanisms can communicate with each other, to perform work together, which is now looking for them to work collaboratively. So it will seek logic – reasoning to interact with more than one robot at a time, cases where promotes these techniques, we have with infrastructure intelligent and multi agents, distributed systems, dynamic routing, systems dynamic, autonomous systems, and significantly in design patterns of behavior of such systems by machine-machine communication.

1. Topics

5. Publication and indexing
The conference is technically co-sponsored by IOS series (Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications (FAIA)), and accepted papers will be included in some of the major A&I databases, for example: ACM Digital Library, DBLP, EI Compendex, SciVerse Scopus, Web of Science; Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI-S) *, Web of Science; Book Citation Index– Science (BKCI-S), Zentralblatt MATH, Google Scholar.
Authors whose papers have been accepted and presented at the conference will be invited to submit their extended and revised papers to an special issue.
