The upcoming IEEE Intelligent Vehicle Symposium 2024 in Korea is set to host the 1st workshop on "Small-scale Testbeds for Connected and Automated Vehicles and Robot Swarms" that aims to foster innovation and collaboration in the realm of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) and robot swarms. This hands-on workshop is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical application, providing a unique platform for the exchange of ideas and best practices.

Unprecedented Access and Diversity in Technology Development

Recognizing the pivotal role of small-scale testbeds in the development of CAVs and robot swarm algorithms, the workshop emphasizes the need for greater accessibility. In an industry-first initiative, the workshop will initiate discussions and concrete steps to improve testbed accessibility, particularly for researchers from underrepresented communities, ensuring that the path towards technological advancement is inclusive and diverse. The workshop intends to create a vibrant platform for the discussion of sustaining testbeds, focusing on hardware, software, and data collection strategies. By facilitating the sharing of best practices, the workshop will enable participants to adopt the most effective strategies from across the globe, accelerating innovation and reducing the time from concept to prototype.

Attendees of the workshop will not only gain insights into the latest advancements but will also contribute to the workshop’s discussions and findings. The collective intelligence gathered will be published, providing valuable resources for the broader research community.

Call for Papers

The workshop organizers are calling for submissions that address the multifaceted challenges of CAVs and robot swarm technology. We invite researchers, innovators, and practitioners to submit papers that can contribute to the workshop’s ambitious goals. Your research could play a crucial role in shaping the landscape of intelligent vehicles and robotics.

Join us at the IEEE Intelligent Vehicle Symposium 2024 for an opportunity to contribute to the future of mobility and automation. Be a part of the conversation that sets the stage for the next generation of vehicle technology.
