Advances in Robotics

The field of robotics is one of the most innovative in the last decade. We are moving now from conventional, unintelligent industrial robots to mobile, intelligent, cooperative robots. This new generation of robots opens a lot of new application fields. Some of them will be growing dramatically in the nearest future. Therefore in this paper the present state will be discussed, selected applications described and an outlook on future developments will be given.
