Topics of interest include, but are not necessarily limited to: 

• Architectures and middleware solutions for cyber-physical systems, integrating the IoT, the cloud/edge with robots and other actuators 

• Distributed sensing, planning and actuation 

• Cloud-based control systems, possibly using deterministic wireless or wired networking 

• Domain Specific Languages for cloud robotics and cyber-physical systems 

• Software engineering practices for networked robots 

• Tele-robotic systems 

• Computational offloading and load balancing in robotics 

• Multi-robot coordination and orchestration 

• Self-adaptive cyber-physical and robotic systems 

• Cloud-supported collective knowledge and parameter sharing between actuation systems 

• Sensor fusion for improved control policies 

• Transfer learning between tasks or across robotic systems 

• Hands-on experiences and use cases in the fields of manufacturing, Industry 4.0, healthcare, active assisted living, logistics and transportation, security and surveillance, precision agriculture and others
