The 21st International Conference on Climbing and Walking Robots and the Support Technologies for Mobile Machines will be held within the premises of The Technological University of Panama, Panama City, Panama, during 10 – 12 September 2018.
CLAWAR 2018 will feature technical and social programs. The technical program will comprise plenary, regular and special/invited sessions. All articles submitted for inclusion in the conference will be peer reviewed before acceptance. It is envisaged that all accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, subject to registration of at least one author for presenting the work. A selection of presented papers will also be recommended for possible publication in reputable international journals. CLAWAR 2018 will also feature the CLAWAR Robotics Competition.
SCOPE
Original contributions are invited in all areas relevant to mobile robotics, covering climbing, walking, flying robots with assistance and service provided to humans and machines. The conference will cover analysis (modeling and simulation) techniques, design approaches, and practical applications and realizations of developed robotic systems. Support technologies for the realisation of such systems, associated economic, ethical and social considerations are an integral part of the conference theme. Human interaction, including exoskeletons, prostheses, and orthoses as well as service robots forms an increasingly active and important pertinent area. We warmly welcome contributions of papers targeting the conference scope, which includes but is not limited to the following topics:
