7 th International Workshop on Safety and Security of Intelligent Vehicles – SSIV 2021

Mobile robot systems, like aerial and ground vehicles, have been receiving an increased number of electronic components, connected through wireless networks and running embedded software over the last years. This strong integration between dedicated computing devices, i.e., the physical environment, dedicated computing devices, and networking, composes a Cyber-Physical System (CPS). CPS have thus become part of common vehicles, accessible to everyone, such as automobiles or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Furthermore, as processing power increases and software becomes more sophisticated, these vehicles gain the ability to perform complex operations, becoming more autonomous, efficient, adaptable, comfortable, safe and usable. These are known as Intelligent Vehicles (IV).
