Call for Contribution:
This workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to discuss the latest advancements and challenges in the field of multi-robot systems, particularly focusing on their applications in logistics and critical infrastructure inspection, especially to investigate advancements in multi-robot systems, including autonomous car fleets, drone swarms for inspection, logistic robot systems and etc. These technologies hold promise for improving automation efficiency and enhancing daily life. However, deploying robotic systems in groups poses challenges such as cost-effective perception implementation, dealing with measurement uncertainties, real-time dynamic planning, and interactions with other agents. Developing such multi-robot perception and navigation systems is often time- and resource-demanding, making this field less explored by the majority of the academic community. This workshop seeks to address this significant domain gap.
