Robotics Research: The 14th International Symposium ISRR

Book Overview

The Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics (STAR) publishes new developments and advances in the fields of robotics research - rapidly and informally but with a high quality The intent is to cover all the technical topics, applications, and multidisciplinary aspects of robotics, embedded in the fields of Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Control, and Life Sciences - as well as the methodologies behind them. Within the scope of the series are monographs, lecture notes, selected contributions from specialized conferences and workshops, as well as selected PhD theses. This volume presents a collection of papers presented at the 14th International Symposium of Robotic Research (ISRR) ISRR is the biennial meeting of the International Foundation of Robotic Research (IFRR) and its 14th edition took place in Lucerne, Switzerland, from August 31st to September 3rd, 2009. As for the previous symposia, ISRR 2009 followed up on the successful concept of a mixture of invited contributions and open submissions. Half of the 48 presentations were therefore invited contributions from outstanding researchers selected by-the IFRR officers, and half were chosen among the 66 submissions after peer review. This selection process resulted in a truly excellent technical program some of the very best of robotic research: Out of the 48 presentations, the 42 paper which were finally submitted for publication are organized in 8 sections that encompass the major research orientations in robotics: Navigation, Control & Planning, Human-Robot Interaction, Manipulation and Humanoids, Learning, Mapping, Multi-Robot Systems, and Micro-Robotics. They represent an excellent snapshot of cutting edge research in robotics and outline future directions. Book jacket.
