Special Session Information: 

Modern robotic systems are rapidly evolving from isolated entities into networked agents capable of intelligent perception, coordination, and action over diverse and distributed infrastructures. These infrastructures often span heterogeneous systems like terrestrial, aerial, and space platforms, posing new challenges for real-time communication, adaptive control, and service orchestration in robotic applications.

This special session aims to explore how intelligent connectivity control mechanisms can empower robust robotic operations in mobile and heterogeneous environments. Key enablers include semantic communication, AI-native networking, and distributed decision-making across agents.

We invite contributions on cross-layer system design, network-aware control, and robotic task orchestration under heterogeneous connectivity. This session aims to bridge the fields of robotics, wireless communication, and AI for advancing connected, collaborative robotic intelligence.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• AI-enhanced robotic control and communication

• Distributed robotic coordination over heterogeneous networks

• Task offloading and service migration in connected robotic systems

• Semantic communication for robots

• Edge intelligence for mobile and aerial robots

• Unified frameworks for robotic planning and wireless connectivity

• Cross-domain connectivity management in mobile robotic system

• Communication-efficient robotic control
