Introduction

One of big commercial successes of robotics has been optimization and automation of materials handling, warehousing, and fulfillment at scale. Underlying these successes are solutions to important problems of several types, including mechanical design robots, sensing technologies, strategies for power management and recharging. The purpose of this workshop is to explore questions related primarily to control and planning of such systems, and also systems which ultimately could have an impact on automation applications in the long-run.

Submission Topics

This workshop is intended to bring together experts in planning and control of many robot systems to discuss topics relevant to automation applications. We are soliciting submissions dealing with such issues including, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Navigation: Multiple-robot obstacle avoidance in constrained spaces

  • Logistics: Task-allocation and role assignment

  • Locality: Layout optimization

  • Models: Work at the intersection of Queuing Theory and planning

  • Adaptation: Techniques for addressing wear and tear, long-term deployments, etc.
