CLAWAR 2022 is the 25th 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 University of the Azores, S. Miguel, Açores, Portugal, during 12 – 14 September 2022. The technical programme of CLAWAR 2022 will feature plenary, regular and special/invited sessions.
Scope
Original contributions are invited in the general area of mobile robotics, covering climbing, walking, flying robots with assistance and service 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. A non-exhaustive list of topics and activities can be found in the conference web-site.
