The 22nd International Conference on Climbing and Walking Robots and the Support Technologies for Mobile Machines will be held at The Grand BlueWave Hotel, Shah Alam, Malaysia during 26 – 28 August 2019, continuing a series of successful events all over the world.
CLAWAR 2019 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 2019 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:
- Agricultural robots
- Assistive robots
- Autonomous robots
- Biologically-inspired systems and solutions
- Biomedical robots
- Construction
- Co-operative robot systems
- Domestic robots
- Education
- Emergency & rescue operations

Submission of Papers
The technical program of the conference will feature Regular Papers and Special Session Papers. Authors are invited to submit their full draft papers in PDF format using the URL (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clawar2019) or from the paper submission page of the conference web-site by the indicated deadline for consideration for inclusion in the relevant category (special/regular paper). Please note that you should first register to create an account on the system, if not done so yet, before submitting your contribution.
All papers will be peer-reviewed before acceptance, and all accepted papers (subject to registration) will be published in the conference proceedings. Final accepted papers will be limited to 8 pages in length in the prescribed style and format given in the paper submission web page.
The conference proceedings will be published in electronic form with ISBN number and indexed in Scopus.
A selection of presented papers will also be recommended for possible publication in reputable international journals.
