This article proposes a roadmap to address the current challenges in small-scale testbeds for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) and robot swarms. The roadmap is a joint effort of participants in the workshop "1st Workshop on Small-Scale Testbeds for Connected and Automated Vehicles and Robot Swarms," held on June 2 at the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV) 2024 in Jeju, South Korea. The roadmap contains three parts: 1) enhancing accessibility and diversity, especially for underrepresented communities, 2) sharing best practices for the development and maintenance of testbeds, and 3) connecting testbeds through an abstraction layer to support collaboration. The workshop features eight invited speakers, four contributed papers [1]-[4], and a presentation of a survey paper on testbeds [5]. The survey paper provides an online comparative table of more than 25 testbeds, available at https://bassamlab.github.io/testbeds-survey. The workshop's own website is available at https://cpm-remote.lrt.unibw-muenchen.de/iv24-workshop.

翻译：本文提出了一项路线图，以应对当前互联与自动化车辆（CAV）和机器人集群小型测试平台所面临的挑战。该路线图是2024年6月2日在韩国济州岛举行的IEEE智能车辆研讨会（IV）2024上“第一届互联与自动化车辆及机器人集群小型测试平台研讨会”参与者的共同努力成果。路线图包含三部分：1）增强可及性与多样性，特别关注代表性不足的群体；2）分享测试平台开发与维护的最佳实践；3）通过抽象层连接测试平台以支持协作。研讨会邀请了八位主题演讲者，收录了四篇投稿论文[1]-[4]，并展示了一篇测试平台综述论文[5]。该综述论文提供了超过25个测试平台的在线对比表，网址为https://bassamlab.github.io/testbeds-survey。研讨会的官方网站为https://cpm-remote.lrt.unibw-muenchen.de/iv24-workshop。
