Abstract
Welcome to this special issue of Autonomous Robots. This volume is the second of two special journal issues compiled from thebest papers presented at the eighthRobotics: Science and Systems (RSS) conference, held at theUniversity of Sydney in July 2012. The other special issuewas published by the International Journal of Robotics Research. Since its inception in 2005, the conference has continued to attract scientists working on the algorithmic and mathematical foundations of robotics, robotics applications, and analysis of robotic systems. We are excited to showcase five papers selected from RSS 2012. Although they are on diverse topics–assisted teleoperation, underwater terrain segmentation,multi-robot allocation, micro aerial vehicles, humanoid walking–they share a common theme of developing new theories and algorithms coupled with the commitment to demonstrate these insights on real robotic platforms, marrying the science and systems of robotics. Hauser’s work explores the problem of developing assistive user interfaces for controlling robotic manipulators. The paper combines estimating the user’s intention via a predictor with motion replanning to be responsive to the user’s needs.
