Challenging robotic problems, like complex manipulation task in cluttered environments or navigation among movable obstacles, require a smart combination of task and motion planning (TAMP) capabilities. Different approaches work in this direction, usually focused on specific problems and scenarios, although efforts are being done to achieve more general, scalable and complete solutions. On the other hand, the use of knowledge in terms of ontologies, as well as the use of cloud computing, provides autonomy and can greatly enhance these planning capabilities. Since great efforts are being done to propose frameworks and standards to represent and use knowledge in both of them, the combination of task and motion planning in the frame of cloud robotics is a good direction towards making robots smarter and more autonomous.
Workshop’s topics can include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Generality, Scalability and Completeness of TAMP
- TAMP Challenges
- TAMP Benchmarking
- Interaction between Task and Motion Layers
- Software Services for TAMP
- Advanced Software Tools for TAMP and Cloud Robotics
- Knowledge-based Planning for Autonomous Robots
- Web Services for Autonomous Robots
- Architectures of Cloud Robotics Systems
- Cloud Engines for Robotics
- Human-Robot Interfaces for Cloud Robotics Systems
- Ontology Standards for Robotics
- Ontology Frameworks for Robotic Tasks
- Cloud Computing Techniques for Autonomous Robots
Papers are solicited in all areas of the topics described above. Submission that include experimental results in simulation and/or with real robots are particularly welcome. Papers with descriptions of work in progress or preliminary results are also welcome to be submitted as shorter papers to be presented as posters.
Papers will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. Papers must be submitted to the submission site that will be prepared at EasyChair. Papers must be formatted using the standard IEEE style files provided for the IEEE RAS Conferences described in http://ras.papercept.net/conferences/support/support.php The page limit is 6 pages plus one page for references for full papers, and up to 4 pages for posters. All accepted papers and posters will be included in a DVD with an ISBN number, distributed to the workshop attendees.
