Robotics and Cyber-Physical Systems
Date: Sep 24, 2008 12:00 pm – Sep 24, 2008 12:00 pm
CPS refers to the deep and seamless integration of computational and physical resources to realize engineered systems that far exceed today's systems in autonomy, functionality, efficiency, usability, safety, and reliability. Examples of such systems and applications include future transportation systems, the intelligent power grid, and nano-scale precision manufacturing systems. The goals of research in CPS are to understand the fundamental science and to develop rapid, reliable design and integration techniques applicable to a wide variety of application domains.
Robotic systems are an important class of CPS. The ability of robots to interact intelligently with the world rests upon embedded computation and communication, real-time control, and perception of the world around them. Future robotic systems that will realize the vision of CPS include increasingly intelligent robotic surgery systems, robots for assisted living in smart-homes, and robot teams for exploration and emergency response. The goal of special sessions at IROS 2008 will be to inform the robotics community about opportunities in CPS research, and to identify research themes in robotics that generalize to the larger CPS domain and general themes from CPS that could advance robotics research.
