Latest news:

The organising committee decided that given the restrictions on travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic the CLAWAR 2020 conference will be held virtually. Further details of the virtual facility will be provided soon.

CLAWAR 2020 is the 23rd issue of the International Conference Series on Climbing and Walking Robots and the Support Technologies for Mobile Machines. The conference will be organized in collaboration with the Ishlinsky Institute for Problems in Mechanics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IPMech-RAS), in Moscow, Russian Federation during 24 – 26 August 2020. The technical programme of CLAWAR 2020 will feature plenary, regular and special/invited sessions, and robot exhibition

Original contributions are invited in the general area of mobile robotics, covering climbing, walking, flying robots with assistance and services provided to humans and machines. The conference will cover analysis (modelling and simulation) techniques, design approaches, and practical applications and realisations of robotic systems. Support technologies for realisation of such systems, associated economic, ethical and social considerations are integral part of the conference theme.
