Preface
This book is a collection of scientific papers presented at the German Workshop on Robotics — a convention of researchers from academia and industry working on mathematical and algorithmic foundations of robotics, on the design and analysis of robotic systems as well as on robotic applications. As a new event of the Deutsche Gesellschaft f¨ur Robotik (DGR, German Robotics Society), the workshop took place at the Technische Universit¨at Carolo-Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig on June 9-10, 2009. Covering some of the most important ongoing robotics research topics, this volume contains 31 carefully selected and discussed contributions. All of them were presented at the workshop that was attended by 80 researchers representing a wide range of research areas within robotics. The papers are organized in ten scientific tracks: Kinematic and Dynamic Modeling, Motion Generation, Sensor Integration, Robot Vision, Robot Programming, Humanoid Robots, Grasping, Medical Robotics, Autonomous Helicopters, and Robot Applications. Two invited talks by Antonio Bicchi and Atsuo Takanishi presented surveys of research activities in the fields of human-robot interaction and humanoid robotics. The Program Committee was comprised of Karsten Berns, Oliver Brock, Wolfram Burgard, Martin Buss, Thomas Christaller, R¨udiger Dillmann, Bernd Finkemeyer, Mar
