Abstract
The SSRR workshop has been dedicated to identifying and elaborating on the key scientific issues, not limited to: Mobility, Sensors, Perception, Human-robot Interaction, Distributed Intelligence and Communication The workshop will be structured by four main application-oriented threads: Resource Coordination and Information Management in Disaster Scenarios; Security and Safety Issues (airports, screening, surveillance robots, etc.); Fire Fighting and Collapsed Buildings (search and rescue, chemicals, etc.); Flooding Rivers (support of task forces, resource planning, geo-data, etc.) Researchers in the field of safety, security and rescue robotics cannot work in a vacuum. As with SSRR04, a large part of this workshop will be dedicated to talks from rescue workers, police, and government agencies who have extensive field experience to gain an understanding of what robotics can do for them.
