ICCR 2018: International Conference on Cloud and Robotics.

Submitted to arXiv

Preface

The 5th edition of the International Conference on Cloud and Robotics (ICCR 2018 - https://cloudrobotics.info) will be held on November 12-14 2018 in Saint-Quentin, France. The conference is co-located with the industry exposition Robonumerique (https://www.robomeetings.fr).

The domain of cloud robotics aims to converge robots with computation, storage and communication resources provided by the cloud. The cloud may complement robotic resources in several ways, including crowd-sourcing knowledge databases, context information, computational offloading or data-intensive information processing for artificial intelligence. As the challenges in this domain are multi-disciplinary, the session aims at building a bridge between experts from academia and industry working in different fields, such as robotics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, software architecture, big data analytics, Internet-of-Things and distributed cloud systems.
