Preface
The 10th RoboCup International Symposium was held during June 19–20, 2006 at the Fair & Convention Center in Bremen, Germany, immediately after the 2006 Soccer, Rescue and Junior Competitions. RoboCup is increasingly seen by the robotics community as a significant approach to the evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed solutions to the many difficult robotics problems. The RoboCup International symposium hosted scientific contributions in all the areas relevant to RoboCup Competitions. The number of submissions to the Symposium increased again and totalled 143. Each paper was reviewed by at least three Program Committee members. The Program Committee included researchers involved in RoboCup and other scientists from outside the RoboCup community. Papers that received dissenting recommendations were discussed among the reviewers, moderated by the Co-chairs. The final decisions were made by the Co-chairs, who selected 22 submissions as full papers and 36 submissions as posters. This means an acceptance rate of less than 16% for full papers and less than 41% considering posters. The symposium was run in single-track to allow coverage of all robotic-related topics by all attendees. We had fi
