The goal of the Symposium on Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems is to exchange and stimulate research ideas to realize advanced distributed robotic systems. Technologies, algorithms, and system architectures will be presented and discussed during the symposium.
Accepted papers will be included in the Proceedings of DARS 2006, which will be published as a monograph by Springer-Verlag.
Topics include but are not limited to:
| Architectures for teams of robots | Human and robot interaction |
| Biologically inspired systems | Learning and adaptation in teams of robots |
| Cooperation of multiple robots | Multi-robot applications in exploration, search and rescue, service, etc |
| Control issues in multi-robot systems | Multi-robot motion coordination |
| Distributed/cooperative perception | Performance metrics for robot teams |
| Distributed decision making | Robot societies |
| Distributed planning | Self-organizing robotic systems |
| Distributed task execution | Sensor networks |
| Distributed robotic systems | Swarm robotics |
