Scope

Autonomous driving and navigation is a major research issue which  
would affect our lives in near future. The purpose of this workshop is  
to discuss topics related to the challenging problems of autonomous  
navigation and of driving assistance in open and dynamic environments.  
Technologies related to application fields such as unmanned outdoor  
vehicles or intelligent road vehicles will be considered from both the  
theoretical and technological point of views. Several research  
questions located on the cutting edge of the state of the art will be  
addressed. Among the many application areas that robotics is  
addressing, transportation of people and goods seem to be a domain  
that will dramatically benefit from intelligent automation. Fully  
automatic driving is emerging as the approach to dramatically improve  
efficiency while at the same time leading to the goal of zero  
fatalities. Theses new technologies can be applied efficiently for  
other application field like unmanned vehicles, wheelchair or  
assistance mobile robot. Technologies related to this area, such as  
autonomous outdoor vehicles, achievements, challenges and open  
questions would be presented, including the following topics: Object  
detection, tracking and classification, Collision prediction and  
avoidance, Environment perception, vehicle localization and autonomous  
navigation, Real-time perception and sensor fusion, SLAM in dynamic  
environments, Real-time motion planning in dynamic environments, 3D  
Modelling and reconstruction, Human-Robot Interaction, Behavior  
modeling and learning, Robust sensor-based 3D reconstruction, Modeling  
and Control of mobile robot, Cooperation and communications,  
Multi-agent based architectures, Cooperative unmanned vehicles.

Previous Workshop

Previously, four workshops were organized in the same field. The 1st  
edition PPNIV'07 of this workshop was held in Roma during ICRA'07  
(around 60 attendees), and the second PPNIV'08 in Nice during IROS'08  
(more than 90 registered people), the third edition SNODE'09 in Kobe  
during ICRA'09 (around 70 attendees), and the last one PPNIV'09 was  
organized in the next IROS'09 in Saint-Louis. A special issue in IEEE  
Transaction on ITS, mainly focused on Car and ITS applications, has  
been published last September 2009. Previous editions were focused  
mainly on the use of one vehicle; the 5th edition will extend the  
topics to control, traffic and multi-vehicle.

Keynotes

Proceedings: The workshop proceedings will be published within the  
ICRA Workshop/Tutorial CDROM and electronically as a pdf file.

Special issue: Selected papers will be considered for a special issue  
in an International Journal in connection with this workshop. We will  
issue an open call after the workshop, submissions will go through a  
separate peer review process.

IEEE-RAS TC on ITS: This workshop is organized in the framework of the  
IEEE Robotics and Automation's Technical Committee on: Autonomous  
Ground Vehicles and Intelligent Transportation Systems
