ROBOT2013: First Iberian Robotics Conference : Advances in Robotics

This book contains the proceedings of the ROBOT 2013: FIRST IBERIAN ROBOTICS CONFERENCE and it can be said that included both state of the art and more practical presentations dealing with implementation problems, support technologies and future applications. A growing interest in Assistive Robotics, Agricultural Robotics, Field Robotics, Grasping and Dexterous Manipulation, Humanoid Robots, Intelligent Systems and Robotics, Marine Robotics, has been demonstrated by the very relevant number of contributions. Moreover, ROBOT2013 incorporates a special session on Legal and Ethical Aspects in Robotics that is becoming a topic of key relevance. This Conference was held in Madrid (28-29 November 2013), organized by the Sociedad Espaٌola para la Investigaciَn y Desarrollo en Robَtica (SEIDROB) and by the Centre for Automation and Robotics - CAR (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) and Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientيficas (CSIC)), along with the co-operation of Grupo Temلtico de Robَtica CEA-GTRob, "Sociedade Portuguesa de Robotica" (SPR), "Asociaciَn Espaٌola de Promociَn de la Investigaciَn en Agentes Fيsicos" (RedAF), and partially supported by "Comunidad de Madrid under RoboCity2030 Programme".
