CLAWAR’2009
12th International Conference on Climbing and Walking Robots and the
Support Technologies for Mobile Machines
09 – 11 September, 2009, Istanbul, Turkey
http://www.clawar2009.org/
Announcement and Call for Papers
--------------------------------
Robotics is an exciting field in engineering and natural sciences.
Robotics has already made important widespread contributions and impact
in industrial robots for tasks such as assembly, welding, painting, and
material handling. In parallel, we have also witnessed the emergence of
special service robots which perform valuable jobs, in new environments
such as search and rescue, surveillance, exploration and security
missions as well as provide assistance to a variety of users. The
emergence of mobile machines, such as the climbing and walking robots,
for these missions in un-structured environments, has significantly
broadened challenges that must be considered by robotics research.
The purpose of the 12th International Conference on Climbing and Walking
Robots and the Support Technologies for Mobile Machines (CLAWAR’2009) is
to provide a venue where
researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the
world can come together to present and discuss the latest achievements,
future challenges and exciting applications
for mobile service machines in general, and climbing and walking robots
in particular. In order to benefit all participants, and also to
maximize the interaction, the technical program of this
conference is intentionally tailored to having relatively few parallel
tracks. Each track will accommodate peer-reviewed articles, comprising
regular and special sessions, dealing with
theoretical, experimental and application works. Moreover, the
conference will include several keynote lectures and poster sessions.
