Preface Robotics is a highly interdisciplinary research topic, that requires integration of methods for mechanics, control engineering, signal processing, planning, graphics, human-computer interaction, real-time systems, applied mathematics, and software engineering to enable construction of fully operational systems. The diversity of topics needed to design, implement, and deploy such systems implies that it is almost impossible for individual teams to provide the critical mass required for such endeavours. To facilitate interaction and progress on sensor based intelligent robotics the organisation of inter-disciplinary workshops is necessary through which in-depth discussion can be used for cro
