Call for Papers | Control Architecture of Robots 2011

Description

The CAR conference gathers researchers of the french robotics community interested in the transverse theme of embedded software for controlling autonomous robots.
This event is an opportunity to meet other scientists and get an overview of research currently conducted in french labs.

As mobile robotics and wireless sensor networks seem to be moving toward an interesting convergence, CAR 2011 proposes a dedicated focus on multi-robot collaboration. Therefore, this year we are glad to have Prof. Eric Fleury Dr Antoine Fraboulet as the invited speaker of CAR 2011.
Antoine Fraboulet works on wireless sensor and actuator networks and he is involved in the french experimental test bed Senslab.

As for precedent editions, the CAR’s scientific committee expects papers and slides in english to favor the international visibility of presented work.
Submissions can be either full papers, or extended summaries (i.e. short papers).
As for a demonstration session, contact the scientific board giving details of the demonstration (live demo, video, etc) you want to perform during the conference. This will help to organize such a session.

Topics of main interest covering multi-robot collaboration themes :

Networked robots, sensors and actuators

Teleoperation and remote control for networked robots

Distributed control and communication in swarms

Coordination in heterogeneous flocks of robots

Hardware-in-the-loop simulation

Distributed control architectures technology (eg bio-inspired architecture, …)

Experience reports and lessons learned from multi-robot case studies
