CALL FOR PAPERS
Robotic networks have emerged as a transformative force with the potential to
reshape industries, enhance our daily lives, and venture into the most
challenging environments on Earth and beyond. At the heart of this
transformation lies the critical aspect of communication and networking,
enabling robots to operate effectively, share data and collaborate seamlessly.
In this era of interconnected devices, robots rely on advanced communication
protocols and networks to function efficiently in diverse environments. Whether
in manufacturing, healthcare, autonomous vehicles, or space exploration, the
ability of robots to communicate with each other and with humans is
transforming industries and pushing the boundaries of technological innovation.
The frontier of research foresees the deployment of highly autonomic and
integrated scenarios where heterogeneous ground, aerial and/or marine robots
coordinate with each other and with the existing sensing and processing
infrastructures to accomplish complex tasks. On the one side, this implies
proposing and investigating novel M2M solutions and network protocols to enable
the data communication on the aerial and ground segments while taking into
account the novel possibilities offered by the emerging technologies (e.g.
5G/6G and LEO satellite communications). The communication technologies must be
paired with proper control mobility functions to support swarm operations and
to instill coordinated behaviors. On the other side, the data processing on the
mobile edges may take advantage of emerging federated and embedded AI
techniques to drastically reduce the latency of the decision process while
limiting the amount of data transferred from the robotic networks.
NetRobiCS aims at bringing together state-of-the-art contributions on the
design, specification, and evaluation of architectures, algorithms,
applications, and protocols for current and future applications of wireless
ground, marine and aerial robotic networks. Original, unpublished contributions
are solicited in design, development and evaluation of wireless ground, marine
and aerial robotic networks.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Aerial, Terrestrial and Marine Drone Communications and Networks
- Network protocols and communication technologies for robotic systems
- 5G, 6G and satellite enabled robotic systems
- Communications and networking for swarm robotics
- Infrastructure-to-robot and robot-to-robot communication
- Robotic motion control and swarm modeling and management
- Data management and processing in robotic systems
- Embedded AI and federated learning solutions in robotic systems
- AI-driven communication and computing in robotic systems
- Path planning, localization and navigation in robotic networks
