CLAWAR 2013 Conference

CLAWAR Association IFToMM

CLAWAR is a condensation of climbing and walking robots. The core areas are climbing, walking and running robots and the technologies that support them. We interpret that to include wheeled and tracked platforms, in addition to legged machines. Supporting technologies include all the means that 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 forms an increasingly active and important pertinent area.

Articles submitted for inclusion in the conference will be peer reviewed before acceptance. It is envisaged that the conference proceedings will be produced in hard copy as well as on CD. The hard copy proceedings will be published by the World Scientific Publishing Company. Accepted articles will only be published in the conference proceedings if at least one of the authors registers for the conference and presents the paper at the conference.
