Call for papers
Recent advancements in robotics, including autonomous vehicles e.g. UAVs, alongside edge and cloud computing, have paved the way for developing sophisticated robotic systems that harness these technologies. The Robotic Systems in the Edge-Cloud Continuum (RISE) workshop brings together leading academics and industry professionals to explore how robotic systems can be designed, implemented, and optimized through the edge-cloud continuum. This workshop also focuses on how hyper-distributed applications’ workloads and data that originate from robots and their sensors, should be processed and stored across devices, multiple edge computing layers, and centralized cloud resources.
The RISE workshop is co-organized by the EMPYREAN project.
Topics of Interest
We invite submissions of original research, work-in-progress, and proof-of-concept studies introducing novel ideas and innovative directions. We welcome submissions addressing the design, development, and evaluation of architectures, technologies, and applications for robots utilizing the edge-edge continuum, including but not limited to:
- Data processing and storage
- Distributed and collaborative robotics
- IoT, edge-cloud and robotics
- AI and machine learning for robotic operations
- Cybersecurity in edge-cloud and robotics
- Edge-cloud networking
- Autonomous system control and automation
- Digital twins for robotics
- Resource orchestration
- Processing of sensor data (e.g., LIDAR) within the continuum
- Use of hardware accelerators (GPU, DPU, FPGA)
- Robotic applications utilizing the continuum
