Erlang scales robots

Cooperative robotics is a fascinating area where lots of robots work together to achieve some (positive :) ) common goals, e.g. rescue or exploration mission. Currently, this happens only in movies and our imagination due to mainly scalability and fault tolerance limitations of robots.

In this talk, Natalia will introduce her vision of scaling complex robots and collections of robots using Erlang. She will start with an overview of existing robotics projects that use Erlang and then talk about her idea and some small research projects that she has conducted at Bournemouth and Glasgow Universities to develop the vision.

OBJECTIVES

Talk about the usage of Erlang in robotics.
