The principal chapters of this book form a collection of technical
articles sp- ning many areas of research in robotics, these are
followed by a set of short r- iniscences and tributes written by
former students of Professor George A. Bekey. Professor Bekey, a
pioneer in robotics, retired from the University of Southern C-
ifornia (USC) in 2002 after serving on its faculty for forty years.
He maintains an association with USC as University Professor
Emeritus. Professor Bekey turned 80 in June 2008 - this is his
Festschrift. As one of Professor Bekey's former students, it has
been my privilege to know him for many years. This book represents
the collective warm feelings of his former students, who remember
their association with him in the fondest terms. Part I of this
book is composed of technical chapters representing threads of
active robotics research knitted loosely together. In many cases
the themes of the chapters have their origins in the work the
authors did when they were graduate students with Professor Bekey.
These chapters are written for the reader interested in a sampling
of modern research in Autonomous Robots. It is my hope that, for
the serious reader, these chapters will serve as invitations to
explore the ?eld via further reading and research.
