The Symposium
on Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems deals with new contributions
to realize distributed robotic systems. Technologies, algorithms, and
system architectures will be presented and discussed during the symposium.
All interested researchers and engineers are invited to participate
in DARS 2004.
The International
Symposium on Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems successfully took
place in 1992, 1994, and 1996 in Japan (Riken, Wako), in 1998 in Germany
(Karlsruhe), in 2000 in USA (Knoxville, Tennessee) and in 2002 at Fukuoka
(Japan). LAAS, Toulouse, France will host DARS 2004.
