The domain of cloud robotics aims to converge robots with
computation, storage and communication resources provided by the cloud. The
cloud may complement robotic resources in several ways, including
crowd-sourcing knowledge databases, context information, computational offloading
or data-intensive information processing for artificial intelligence. As the
challenges in this domain are multi-disciplinary, the session aims at building
a bridge between experts from academia and industry working in different
fields, such as roboticists, machine learning, artificial intelligence,
software architecture, big data analytics, Internet-of-Things and distributed
cloud systems.
The 4th edition of the International Conference on Cloud and
Robotics (ICCR 2017 - http://cloudrobotics.info)
will be held on November 22-23 2017 in
Saint-Quentin, France. The conference is co-located with the industry
exposition Robonumerique (http://www.robonumerique.fr).
The conference is organizing two special sessions: one on the integration of
Internet-of-Things with robots (leading to the so-called Internet of Robotic
Things), as well as one industry session.
Topics
Architectures and middleware solutions for cyber-physical systems, integrating
the IoT, the cloud/edge with robots and other actuators
Distributed sensing, planning and actuation
Cloud-based control systems, possibly using deterministic wireless or wired
networking
Domain Specific Languages for cloud robotics and cyber-physical systems
Software engineering practices for networked robots
Tele-robotic systems
Computational offloading and load balancing in robotics
Multi-robot coordination and orchestration
Self-adaptive cyber-physical and robotic systems
Cloud-supported collective knowledge and parameter sharing between actuation
systems
Sensor fusion for improved control policies
Transfer learning between tasks or across robotic systems
Hands-on experiences and use cases in the fields of manufacturing, Industry
4.0, healthcare, active assisted living, logistics and transportation, security
and surveillance, precision agriculture and others.
Submission
Three categories of submissions are sollicited:
full papers, presenting research results, limited to 6 pages in 2-column
conference paper format
application papers (short papers 2-4 pages), presenting lessons learnt during
practical field trials and/or with commercial applications in the domain of
cloud robotics and cyber-physical systems
presentations, expressing industry viewpoints and requirements that may help in
shaping future research agenda. Prospective presenters should submit a short
abstract describing the content of their presentation
