The IEEE International Workshop on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR2006) is dedicated to identifying and solving the key issues necessary to field capable robots across a variety of challenging applications. This year it will be hosted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology on August 22-24, 2006. This fourth workshop in the series will emphasize objective performance testing and evaluation of robotic systems to satisfy user-defined requirements. It will be co-located with the Performance Metrics for Intelligent Systems Workshop (PerMIS2006) to share plenary presentations, robot demonstrations, technology exhibits, and social events. As always, emergency responders and other expected users will play a prominent role in presentations and discussions to ensure the practical relevance of technology developments for eventual deployment. Desired topics for papers, demonstrations, and exhibits include:
- Robot performance requirements and technical solutions for applications of SSRR (explosive ordinance disposal, urban search and rescue, CBRN hazard detection/mitigation, physical security, surveillance, …)
- Locomotion for ground, aerial, aquatic, indoor, and collapsed structures
- Perception for navigation, hazard detection, and victim identification
- Mapping of complex environments (2-D, 3-D, GIS integration, …)
- Manipulation capabilities (hazards, payloads, obstacles, doors, …)
- Communications for reliable data transfer (tether management, radio, …)
- Human-robot interfaces for improved remote situational awareness
- Intelligent behaviors to improve robot performance and survivability
- Training methods and other personnel issues
- Emerging technologies (sensors, power sources, micro robots, …)
- Deployment logistics and operational integration issues
- Emergency
management issues related to robotics
Papers should be submitted electronically to ssrr2006@nist.gov in PDF format. Six camera-ready pages including figures are allowed for each paper. Detailed instructions for paper submissions are available on the Paper Submission web page. Videos can be submitted with papers as MPEG files up to 10 MB.
