Robotics and intelligent systems constitute a very wide and truly interdisciplinary field. The papers have been grouped into the following categories:
– Sensing and Perception
– Learning and Planning
– Manipulation
– Telerobotics and Space Robotics
– Multiple Robots
– Legged Locomotion
– Mobile Robot Systems
– Robotics in Medicine
Other additional fields covered include; control, navigation and simulation. Since many researchers in robotics are now apparently interested in some combination of learning, mobile robots and robot vision, most of the articles included relate to at least one of these fields.
