Preface
The application fields of autonomous robots are considered to be getting wider and wider. Living and office spaces will be the most promising domain for autonomous robotics, in which robots should complete complicated and intelligent tasks under uncertain environments including human behaviors. Disaster areas and deep space are also important application domains, in which robots are required to behave flexibly and (semi-)automatically against unexpected situations. No-one doubts the importance of software for such robotics applications. Simulation is required to design complex behaviors of robots and to confirm the stability and safety of action plans. M
