Control of mobile robots via a communication network (wired or wireless, LAN orInternet) 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. NetRob2009 presents a three-day, single-track workshop aimed at promoting development of a theoretical basis for combing 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, Control through networks, Control of networks, Mobile sensor networks, Tele-robotics, tele-presence, Tele-operations, tele-maintenance, Remote control, Remote sensor data acquisition, Telematics methods, Autonomous decision-making and control, Robot path planning.
Program and Registration:
Netrob2009 will be a single-track event spanning three days. The conference program will include plenary lectures, panel sessions, specially-planned invited sessions, and presentation of peer-reviewed contributed papers. Several lunchtime robotics demonstrations are planned as well as a conference banquet and opening and closing receptions. The registration fee for NetRob2009 is US$325 before August 15, 2009 and $US350 thereafter. Students may attend the meeting for $US150. The official language of the workshop is English.
Venue:
NetRob’09 will be held on the campus of the Colorado School of Mines inGolden, Colorado, USA.. Golden is a 30-45 minute drive from the Denver International Airport, which offers convenient connections from major airports in the US and Europe. In addition to the workshop program, attendees will find the Colorado Rocky Mountain region to be especially attractive and stimulating in early October, with numerous pre-or post-workshop sightseeing possibilities. Limited hotels are availablewithin walking distance of the meeting venue, with additional hotels convenient to shopping and restaurants available five-to-ten minutes driving from venue, with costs of $US100-150/night. The workshop organizers will facilitate room sharing for interested participates.
