Abstract

Today’s integration between cloud systems and the physical world is mostly focused on scalable, real&#8211;time processing of IoT sensor data&#046; How the IoT and distributed cloud systems can advance robots and cyber&#8211;physical systems has received much less coverage so far&#046; The special session invites original research papers as well as position papers that trigger inspiring discussions&#046; As the challenges in this domain are multi&#8211;disciplinary, the session aims at building a bridge between researchers working in different fields, such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, software architecture, big data analytics, Internet&#8211;of&#8211;Things and distributed cloud systems&#046;<br>SCOPE<br>Topics of interest include, but are not necessarily limited to:<br>* Architectures and middleware solutions for cyber&#8211;physical systems, integrating the IoT, the cloud/edge with robots and other actuators<br>* Distributed sensing, planning and actuation<br>* Cloud&#8211;based control systems, possibly using deterministic wireless or wired networking<br>* Tele&#8211;robotic systems<br>* Computational offloading and load balancing in robotics<br>* Multi&#8211;robot coordination and orchestration<br>* Self&#8211;adaptive cyber&#8211;physical and robotic systems<br>* Cloud&#8211;supported collective knowledge and parameter sharing between actuation systems<br>* Sensor fusion for improved control policies<br>* Transfer learning between tasks or across robotic systems<br>* Hands&#8211;on experiences and use cases in the fields of manufacturing, Industry 4&#046;0, healthcare, active assisted living, logistics and transportation, security and surveillance, precision agriculture and others<br>
