Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics XI

"This volume contains extended versions of the 42 contributions presented at the 2014 Workshop on Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics. ... this is a fairly suitable reference for someone who wants to know the cutting-edge robotics research trends, with a special emphasis on the application of robots to real environments." (Ramon Gonzalez Sanchez, Computing Reviews, August, 2015)
