CLAWAR 2023 is the 26th 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 Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, Brazil, during 02 – 04 October 2023. The technical programme of CLAWAR 2023 will feature plenary, regular and special/invited sessions.

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 Call for Contributions section of the conference web-site.

The CLAWAR 2023 conference proceedings will be published by Springer in their “Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems” Series and will be indexed in Scopus. Authors of the conference presented best papers will be invited to submit an extended and improved contribution to “The Latest Advances on Climbing and Walking Robots” special issue organized by MDPI Machines journal (see further details here: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/machines/special_issues/29P392G0H3), and to the “Latest Advances on Sensors and Perception for Climbing and Walking Robots”” special issue organized by MDPI Sensors journal (see further details here: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/3U4J0WC86C).
