Introduction

CLAWAR “Conference on Climbing and Walking Robots and Support Technologies for Mobile Machines” is an international event in the field of robotics, organised in collaboration with CLAWAR Association whose mission is advancing robotics education and science for public benefit in the areas of robotics and associated technologies. CLAWAR started as a European Network of Excellence in 1997, and was  funded by the European Commission in two phases through to 2005. The mission of the Network was to expand the application of mobile robotics through the interaction of major players in this scientific area in Europe. In 2006, CLAWAR Association was founded as a not-for-profit organisation registered with Companies House (2006) and Charities Commission (2011) in the UK, with the following objectives:

  • Support initiatives to create a sustainable service robotics community for the public benefit.
  • Conduct education and research in cooperation with international roboticists to reduce duplication of effort by encouraging modularization.
  • Support international robot standardization activities to facilitate the development of new robot markets.
  • Provide mechanisms and communication channels to increase the flow of information about robotics to technical experts and laypeople through sponsorship or co-sponsorship of events, electronic events, production of publications and organization of activities with the media for public benefit.
