Field and Service Robotics
Results of the 11th International Conference
Robots! Robots on Mars and in oceans, in hospitals and homes, in factories and
schools; robots fighting fires, making goods and products, saving time and lives.
Robots today are making a considerable impact from industrial manufacturing to
healthcare, transportation, and exploration of the deep space and sea. Tomorrow,
robots will become pervasive and touch upon many aspects of modern life.
The Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics (STAR) was launched in 2002 with
the goal of bringing to the research community the latest advances in the robotics
field based on their significance and quality. During the latest 15 years, the STAR
series has featured publication of both monographs and edited collections. Among
the latter, the proceedings of thematic symposia devoted to excellence in robotics
research, such as ISRR, ISER, FSR and WAFR, have been regularly included in
STAR.
The expansion of our field as well as the emergence of new research areas has
motivated us to enlarge the pool of proceedings in the STAR series in the past few
years. This has ultimately led to launching a sister series in parallel to STAR. The
Springer Proceedings in Advanced Robotics (SPAR) is dedicated to the timely
dissemination of the latest research results presented in selected symposia and
workshops.
The Eleventh edition of Field and Service Robotics edited by Marco Hutter and
Roland Siegwart offers in its seven-part volume a collection of a broad range of
topics clustered in control, computer vision, inspection, machine learning, mapping,
navigation and planning, systems and tools. The contents of the forty-five contributions
represent a cross section of the current state of robotics research from one
particular aspect: field and service applications, and how they reflect on the theoretical
basis of subsequent developments. Pursuing technologies aimed at field
robots that operate in complex and dynamic environments, as well as at service
robots that work closely with humans to help them with their lives, is the big
challenge running throughout this focused collection.Rich by topics and authoritative contributors, FSR culminates with this unique
reference on the current developments and new directions in field and service
robotics. A fine addition to the series!
