CLAWAR 2024 is the 27th issue of the International Conference Series on Climbing and Walking Robots and the Support Technologies for Mobile Machines. The conference will be organized in collaboration with the RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau and FZI Center for Information Technology, Germany.
It is held during 04 – 06 September 2024 in the Fraunhofer Center, Kaiserslautern, Germany.
The technical program of CLAWAR 2024 will feature plenary, regular and special/invited sessions. The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer’s Lecture Notes in Networks ans Systems series and indexed in Scopus.
The CLAWAR 2024 aims to strengthen the scientific and personal exchange in the walking robotics community. Original contributions are invited in the area of climbing and walking robots as well as in general mobile robotics like flying and ground robots.The conference will cover analysis (modelling and simulation) techniques, design approaches, and practical applications and realisations of robotic systems. Support technologies for realisation of such systems, associated economic, ethical and social considerations are integral part of the conference theme. A non-exhaustive list of topics and activities can be found in the Call for Contributions section of the conference web-site.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
