Call for Papers
The rapid advancements in robots (industrial, mobile, humanoid, exploration, etc), edge and cloud computing have paved the way for the development of sophisticated robotic systems that leverage these computing technologies.
The Robotic Systems in the Edge–Cloud Continuum (RISE) is dedicated in exploring how robotics systems can be designed, implemented, and optimized by utilizing the edge-cloud continuum. At the same time, the workshop focus on how the respective hyper-distributed applications’ workload and data should be processed and stored in devices, in various edge computing layers and in centralized cloud resources, building an edge-cloud continuum.
The workshop aims to foster collaboration between the robotics and parallel/distributed systems communities, focusing on architectures, algorithms, and systems enabling real-time robotic perception, decision making, and coordination across distributed computing infrastructures.
