2011 IEEE Workshop on Computational Intelligence for Mobile Robots: Air-Land-, and Sea-Based

Mobile robots are becoming increasingly important on land, in the sea, in the air, and in space. These include unmanned air vehicles (UAV), unmanned underwater vehicles, and unmanned ground vehicles (UGV). They are being used for military, industrial, and scientific applications. Many of them have to operate in complex and severe environments. There is a need for much greater computational intelligence (CI) onboard all these vehicles. Many of the current systems are remotely operated and have little autonomy. Mobile robots will require complex hybrid systems that use neural networks, fuzzy logic, learning algorithms, evolutionary systems, and cognitive architectures.
