Interest in control of climbing and walking robots has remarkably
increased over the years. Novel solutions of complex mechanical
systems such as climbing, walking, flying and running robots with
different kinds of locomotion and the technologies that support
them and their applications are the evidence of significant
progress in the area of robotics. Supporting technologies include
the means by which robots use to sense, model, and navigate through
their environments and, of course, actuation and control
technologies. Human interaction including exoskeletons, prostheses
and orthoses, as well as service robots, are increasingly active
important pertinent areas of research. In addition, legged machines
and tracked platforms with software architecture seem to be
currently the research idea of most interest to the robotics
community.

robots in society, it social and ethically consideration are also
addressed in the proceedings.
This book provides state-of-the-art scientific and engineering
research findings and developments in the area of mobile robotics
and associated support technologies. The book contains peer
reviewed articles presented at the CLAWAR 2012 conference. Robots
are no longer confined to industrial manufacturing environments. A
great deal of interest is invested in the use of robots outside the
factory environment. The CLAWAR conference series, established as a
high profile international event, acts as a platform for
dissemination of research and development findings and supports
such a trend to address the current interest in mobile robotics to
meet the needs of mankind in various sectors of the society. These
include personal care, public health, services in the domestic,
public and industrial environments. The editors of the book have
extensive research experience and publications in the area of
robotics in general and in mobile robotics specifically, and their
experience is reflected in editing the contents of the book.
This book provides state of the art scientific and engineering
research findings and developments in the area of mobile robotics
and associated support technologies. The book contains peer
reviewed articles presented at the CLAWAR 2011 conference. A great
deal of interest is vested in the use of robots outside the factory
environment. The CLAWAR conference series, established as a high
profile international event, acts as a platform for dissemination
of research and development findings and supports the trend to
address current interest in mobile robotics to meet the needs of
mankind in various segments of the society. Field robotics aims to
bring technologies that allow autonomous systems to assist and/or
replace humans performing tasks that are difficult, repetitive,
unpleasant, or take place in hazardous environments. These robotic
systems will bring sociological and economic benefits through
improved human safety, increased equipment utilisation, reduced
maintenance costs and increased production.
This book includes recent research on climbing and walking robots.

applied. The papers are intended to promote the formulation of more
precise safety standards and ethical frameworks for the rapidly
changing field of robotic applications. The conference was held at
Pavilhao do Conhecimento/Ciencia Viva in Lisbon and brought
together leading researchers and industry representatives,
promoting a dialogue that combines different perspectives and
experiences to arrive at viable solutions for ethical problems in
the context of robotics. The conference topics included but were
not limited to emerging ethical, safety, legal and societal
problems in the following domains: * Service/Social Robots: Robots
performing tasks in human environments and involving close
human-robot interactions in everyday households; robots for
education and entertainment; and robots employed in elderly and
other care applications * Mobile Robots: Self-driving vehicles,
