Annotation

This book contains the proceedings of the ROBOT 2013: FIRST IBERIAN ROBOTICS CONFERENCE and it can be said that included both state of the art and more practical presentations dealing with implementation problems, support technologies and future applications. A growing interest in Assistive Robotics, Agricultural Robotics, Field Robotics, Grasping and Dexterous Manipulation, Humanoid Robots, Intelligent Systems and Robotics, Marine Robotics, has been demonstrated by the very relevant number of contributions. Moreover, ROBOT2013 incorporates a special session on Legal and Ethical Aspects in Robotics that is becoming a topic of key relevance. This Conference was held in Madrid (28-29 November 2013), organized by the Sociedad Espanola para la Investigacion y Desarrollo en Robotica (SEIDROB) and by the Centre for Automation and Robotics - CAR (Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM) and Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC)), along with the co-operation of Grupo Tematico de Robotica CEA-GTRob, "Sociedade Portuguesa de Robotica" (SPR), "Asociacion Espanola de Promocion de la Investigacion en Agentes Fisicos" (RedAF), and partially supported by "Comunidad de Madrid under RoboCity2030 Programme".
