RoboCom 2025 (International Workshop on Communication and Networking for Swarms Robotics) is an academic conference held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA on 2025-01-10. The paper submission deadline is 2024-10-06. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2024-10-21.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussions and technical presentations on the broad area of robot swarms and wireless networks.
The timeliness and relevance of the topics addressed by the workshop are implicitly demonstrated by the pervasive diffusion on the market of ground and aerial robots with sensing and autonomous mobility capabilities.
In order to fully unlock such potential, and also to foster the deployment of novel applications involving the large-scale use of mobile ground and aerial devices with the ability of swarm computing, some fundamental research issues must be addressed, such as networked mobility and communication control, energy efficiency in swarm networks, Quality of Service in the swarm and system security.
The workshop focuses both on application aspects, e.g. by identifying novel use-cases that might likely translate into new directions for research and investments from industries, and on methodological aspects, e.g. how to overcome networking and control issues tackling the practical implementation of autonomous vehicles and robot networks.
Due to the timeliness of the topics, we expect the workshop to be a possible ground of cross-fertilization between academia, industry, and standardization groups, and to provide an original contribution to the state-of-the-art of research. We also consider the workshop as a perfect arena for the participation of young PhDs and Researchers who will receive provocative ideas, visions, and guidelines on new potential directions of research on methodologies, techniques, algorithms, and multidisciplinary aspects.
Recent advances in the field of telecommunications and electronics have led to the proliferation of autonomous robots in numerous novel application fields, from emergency situations to military applications, from infrastructure inspection to ambient monitoring services, where the utilization of multiple robots is essential to accomplish the desired task. Recent works have demonstrated the challenges of coordinating multiple robots to deploy robot networks with self-configuration and self-healing capabilities to guarantee service continuity, also in case of failures.
Starting from the unique requirements of a multi robot system, Swarm Robotics is a complex approach that requires an understanding of how to define distributed systems to define self-organization behaviors. Swarm Robotics studies how to make robots collaborate and collectively solve a task where every robot contributes to the general task sharing the same higher-level objectives. To this end, communication wireless networks must be specifically designed to support the cooperation and collaboration inside the swarm.
