Dear RoboCuppers,

I'm sorry if you receive multiple messages.

I like announce of the following CFP about a symposium related to
rescue robotics.
We are planning several invited talk that related to status of damages
and rescue activities for Japanese earthquake.
Please submit and participate SSRR2011.

                               CALL FOR PAPERS
                     9th IEEE International Symposium on
              Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR2011)
                            November 1 - 5, 2011
                                Kyoto, Japan
                  http://ssrr2011.mif.sys.okayama-u.ac.jp/

OBJECTIVE

   The 2011 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR2011) is dedicated to identifying and solving the key issues necessary to field capable robots across a variety of challenging applications. This ninth symposium (workshop) in the series will address both the research challenges posed by search and rescue scenarios and the design of deployable robotic systems that satisfy user-defined requirements. As always, emergency responders and other expected users will be involved in presentations and discussions to ensure the practical relevance of technology developments for actual usage.


TOPICS

   Topics for papers and demonstrations include:
     * Robot performance requirements and technical solutions for
       applications of SSRR (urban search and rescue, CBRN hazard
       detection/mitigation, explosive ordinance disposal, physical
       security, surveillance, etc)
     * 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, etc)
     * Manipulation capabilities (hazards, payloads, obstacles, doors,
       etc)
     * Communications for reliable data transfer (tether management,
       radio, etc)
     * Intelligent behaviors to improve robot performance and
       survivability
     * Human-robot interfaces for improved remote situational awareness
     * Autonomous search and exploration
     * Multi-robot teams and mixed human-robot teams
     * Training methods and other personnel issues
     * Standards of robots and systems
     * Evaluation and performance metric of robotic systems
     * Emerging technologies (sensors, power sources, micro robots, etc)
     * Emergency management issues related to robotics
     * Mechanisms, Mechatronics, and Embedded Control
     * Disaster simulation
     * Risk management, Risk assessment, Risk Communication, Crisis
       Management, and Disaster Resilience
