Special Issue on Networked Robots: Serving the Society
Networked robots pose a number of technical challenges related to network
noise, reliability, congestion, fixed and variable time delay, stability,
passivity, range and power limitations, deployment, coverage, safety,
localization, sensor and actuation fusion, privacy, security, and user
interface design. New capabilities arise frequently with the introduction
of new hardware, software, and protocol standards. In this special issue,
the research topics are focused on addressing algorithmic and system
challenges when the networked robots are used in service applications.
Possible Topics:
1. Communication
Variable time delays, packet effects
Protocol design for networked robots
Security, Privacy
Low Latency Video, Tactile
2. Coordination, Algorithms
Collaborative, distributed control, formation, swarm intelligence
Deployment, localization, mobility
Mapmaking and network self-organization
3. Systems and Applications
Human interfaces, human-robot interaction
Power management
Hybrid architectures, interoperability
Hardware (sensors, power, size, cost)
Paper Submission:
Deadline for paper submission: 15 Mar. 2009
Paper reviews returned to authors: 15 May 2009
Deadline for camera ready papers: 15 June 2009
Expected journal publication date: July 2009
