[AISWorld] Firm Deadline 25 January- NetRobiCS 2024 - INFOCOM workshop on Networked Robotics and Communication System

[Dev Mishra]

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the Call for Papers for the 17th International
Workshop on Networked Robotics and Communication Systems (NetRobiCS 2024),
formerly known as WiSARN, scheduled to be held in conjunction with IEEE
INFOCOM 2024 on 20 May 2024.

NetRobiCS 2024 focuses on the pivotal role of communication and networking
in the evolving field of robotic networks, which are revolutionizing
industries, enhancing daily life, and exploring new frontiers on Earth and
beyond. The workshop aims to foster the exchange of ideas and the latest
research in wireless ground, marine, and aerial robotic networks.

We invite original, unpublished contributions in areas including, but not
limited to:

   - Aerial, Terrestrial, and Marine Drone Communications and Networks
   -

   Network protocols and communication technologies for robotic systems
   -

   5G, 6G, and satellite-enabled robotic systems
   -

   Communications and networking for swarm robotics
   -

   Infrastructure-to-robot and robot-to-robot communication
   -

   Robotic motion control and swarm modeling and management
   -

   Data management and processing in robotic systems
   -

   Embedded AI and federated learning solutions in robotic systems
   -
