Call for Papers
The wireless multihop communication has been one of key research issues in recent
years both in academia and wireless industry. It encompasses ad hoc radio networks,
sensor networks, wireless mesh networks and mobile multihop relay related to the
industrial and standardization activities such as IEEE 802.11s, 802.15.4, 802.16j, etc.
Further the multihop communications can be combined with cooperative communications
and network coding, which attracted more researchers in this field.
The idea behind such multihop communications is to utilize the availability of other nodes
or to borrow their transmission capability. This in many cases exceeds the delay caused
by the multihop relay, the gain from which is capacity enhancement as well as coverage
extension of plain radio networks.
Now we turn our attention to the robotics area. In these days, many researchers are
noticing group behaviors found in small insects or animals such as ants, birds, and fish,
trying to realize such behaviors into the control and coordination of a team of robots with
their local interaction. The multiple (usually small) robots communicate each other,
sharing the same mission, naturally through wireless communications. In this respect,
wireless multihop communication is an excellent candidate for inter-robot information
exchange.
The main idea of this workshop is to bridge the above two areas (wireless multihop
communications and networked robotics) by opening a place for researchers to meet
and exchange their ideas. The workshop welcomes submissions on all aspects of the
themes, which include (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Communication architecture for collaborative robot systems
- Biologically inspired swarm robotics with networking functionality
- Multiple robot networking with mutihop- and cooperative communications
- Network coding and wireless relay technologies for cooperative robotics
- Learning and adaptation in cooperative environments
- Applications of multi-robot network systems
- Ad hoc robot networks
- Cognitive communication technologies for inter-robot team work
- Exploiting robot mobility in wireless relay networks
- QoS support in networked robotics
- Wireless multihop networks under node mobility
