Preface

On June 25, 2010 Singapore Polytechnic in the city-state of Singapore played host to the 14th annual RoboCup International Symposium. This year the symposium took place the day after the RoboCup competition was concluded. Participating leagues in the RoboCup include Simulation, Soccer, Rescure, @home and Junior. This year the symposium was organized in two scientific tracks that were complemented by an additional industrial track and a special track focusing on robotics and education. Through the 14 years a number of research topics have been stable focal points of scientific research while new areas have evolved only more recently. We used these ideas to structure the scientific tracks into four sessions entitled “Simulation and Rescue Robots,” “Robot Perception and Localization,” “Robot Motion and
