Call For Papers - CFP

Topics of Interest for Submission include, but are Not Limited to:

1. Core Robotics & Autonomous Systems

This area covers the fundamental mechanics, control, and "brain" of a robot.

Robot Kinematics & Dynamics:

Forward and inverse kinematics for multi-DOF (Degree of Freedom) arms.

Trajectory planning and motion control in cluttered environments.

Perception & Sensing:

3D Computer Vision: Pose estimation, object tracking, and semantic segmentation.

Sensor Fusion: Combining LiDAR, RADAR, and Ultrasonic data for 360° awareness.

SLAM: Simultaneous Localization and Mapping for navigation in GPS-denied areas.

Intelligent Navigation:

AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots): Pathfinding in dynamic warehouses.

Swarm Robotics: Decentralized coordination of multiple small robots for search-and-rescue.

Bio-inspired Locomotion: Bipedal/quadrupedal movement (e.g., Boston Dynamics style) and soft robotics.

2. Industrial Automation & Smart Manufacturing

The integration of technology to create the "Smart Factory" (Industry 4.0/5.0).

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS):

Digital Twins: Creating real-time virtual replicas of entire production lines.

IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things): Edge computing and 5G communication protocols between machines.

Control Systems Architecture:

PLC & SCADA: Advanced programming for large-scale industrial supervision.

Embedded Systems: Real-time operating systems (RTOS) for low-latency hardware control.

Process Optimization:

AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance: Analyzing vibration and heat data to fix machines before they break.

Automated Quality Control: Using high-speed cameras and AI to detect 1mm defects in real-time.

3. Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) & Collaboration

As robots move out of cages and onto the shop floor alongside humans.

Collaborative Robots (Cobots):

Force-limiting sensors for safe, cage-free operation near human workers.

Lead-through programming (manually moving the robot arm to "teach" it a path).

Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI):

Haptics: Tactile feedback systems for remote surgery or hazardous material handling.

Gesture & Natural Language Control: Using voice or hand signals to direct industrial robots.

Augmented Reality (AR): Using AR glasses to overlay repair instructions onto physical machines.

Exoskeletons: Wearable robotics for worker fatigue reduction and heavy lifting assistance.

4. Advanced Manufacturing Processes

Techniques that rely on high-precision robotics to create products.

Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing):

Robotic-arm-based large-scale 3D printing (concrete, metal, carbon fiber).

Hybrid manufacturing (combining 3D printing with CNC milling).

Micro & Nano-Manufacturing:

Precision assembly of semiconductors and medical implants.

MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) fabrication.

Automated Joining & Assembly:

High-speed robotic welding, laser cutting, and precision adhesive dispensing.

5. Cross-Cutting Issues (The "Industry 5.0" Shift)

Addressing the societal, ethical, and environmental impact of engineering.

Green Manufacturing & Sustainability:

Energy-Aware Robotics: Optimizing robot movement to minimize power consumption.

Robotics for Circularity: Automating the disassembly of electronics and batteries for recycling.

Safety & Cybersecurity:

Functional safety standards (ISO 10218, ISO/TS 15066).

Securing industrial control systems (ICS) from remote hacking.

Ethics & Workforce:

The "Future of Work": Reskilling programs for human-AI collaborative roles.

Liability and accountability in autonomous decision-making.
