چکیده
In this paper we will present the objectives of a Network Robot System project denominated URUS, a European IST-STREP project of the FP6 program. The general objective of the project is the development of new ways of cooperation between network robots and human beings and/or the environment in urban areas. The focus of the project is in urban pedestrian areas, an important topic in Europe where there exists a growing interest in reducing the number of cars in the streets and improving the quality of life. In the paper we present the objectives and the goals to be achieved.

متن کاملInfluence of the Privacy Issue in the Deployment and Design of Networking Robots in European Urban Areas
In this article we analyze how the privacy issue will affect in the deployment and design of Networking Robots in European urban areas. Privacy means the way to guarantee self control on private data that can be processed by the Networked Robots. We start analyzing the technical capabilities of networked robots in public and private spaces, the legal framework and technical solutions. Then we p...

متن کاملDistributed Computing on the Move: From mobile computing to cooperative robotics and nanorobotics
Distributed computing is beginning to extend its scope to address problems relevant to a mobile environment (mobile computing). For the most part, current research efforts in mobile computing and ad hoc networking are implicitly aimed at mobile telephony and the emerging field of ubiquitous computing. More generally, this paper considers distributed computing environments in which hosts are (ph...
متن کاملRealistic propagation simulation of urban mesh networks q
Simulation plays an important role in the verification ofmobilewireless networking protocols.Recently, several cities have either begun deploying or are completing plans to deploy large-scale urban mesh networks (LUMNets). On the other hand, the networking research community has little expertise in simulating such networks. While the protocols are simulated reasonably realistically, the propaga...
