These platforms are bringing sensing and actuation at places where traditional technology does not reach; for example, for aerial pollution monitoring or for disaster management in remote areas.</span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></span></p><p style="font-family:Calibri,'Microsoft YaHei UI','Malgun Gothic','Segoe UI',Meiryo,'Microsoft JhengHei UI',sans-serif;font-size:16px;margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:black;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"> </span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></span></p><p style="font-family:Calibri,'Microsoft YaHei UI','Malgun Gothic','Segoe UI',Meiryo,'Microsoft JhengHei UI',sans-serif;font-size:16px;margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:black;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">This novel class of cyber-physical systems (CPS) take many of the design, implementation, and validation issues of traditional CPSs to an extreme. Control, sensing, estimation, and algorithms for localization, mapping, navigation, and exploration of individual robots are needed to govern their movements. The timing aspects of vehicle operation are key to provide run-time guarantees about performance. The software design and implementation must lead to provably correct execution. Noisy or inaccurate information sensed by the robots must be properly handled to ensure an accurate understanding of the environment.</span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></span></p><p style="font-family:Calibri,'Microsoft YaHei UI','Malgun Gothic','Segoe UI',Meiryo,'Microsoft JhengHei UI',sans-serif;font-size:16px;margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:black;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"> </span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></span></p><p style="font-family:Calibri,'Microsoft YaHei UI','Malgun Gothic','Segoe UI',Meiryo,'Microsoft JhengHei UI',sans-serif;font-size:16px;margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:black;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">Research efforts to address the issues above, while related, have previously progressed independently with little cross-fertilization across diverse disciplines such as robotics, real-time systems, signal processing, and software development. The goal of this workshop is to create a platform where researchers from different communities can get together to better understand the latest developments in these related fields as well as to establish connections for future interdisciplinary work. The workshop intends to provide a platform to enable such cross-fertilization, to ultimately speed up the development of the field and to foster rich interdisciplinary work in the future. Particularly, co-location with the Cyber-Physical Systems week will be an asset in this regard. CPSWEEK is the premiere CPS event that brings together five top conferences from complementary areas such as Embedded Systems, Real-time Systems, Sensor Networks, Hybrid Systems, and Networked Systems.</span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></span></p><p style="font-family:Calibri,'Microsoft YaHei UI','Malgun Gothic','Segoe UI',Meiryo,'Microsoft JhengHei UI',sans-serif;font-size:16px;margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:black;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"> </span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"></span></p><p style="font-family:Calibri,'Microsoft YaHei UI','Malgun Gothic','Segoe UI',Meiryo,'Microsoft JhengHei UI',sans-serif;font-size:16px;margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:black;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt">This will be the second edition of this workshop.
