Field and Service Robotics

This book
contains the proceedings of the 10th FSR, (Field and Service Robotics) which is
the leading single-track conference on applications of robotics in challenging
environments. The 10th FSR was held in Toronto, Canada from 23-26
June 2015.  The book contains 42
full-length, peer-reviewed papers organized into a variety of topics:  Aquatic, Vision, Planetary, Aerial,
Underground, and Systems.

The goal of
the book and the conference is to report and encourage the development and
experimental evaluation of field and service robots, and to generate a vibrant
exchange and discussion in the community. 
Field robots are non-factory robots, typically mobile, that operate in
complex and dynamic environments:  on the
ground (Earth or other planets), under the ground, underwater, in the air or in
space.  Service robots are those that
work closely with humans to help them with their lives.  The first FSR was held in Canberra,
Australia, in 1997.  Since that first
meeting, FSR has been held roughly every two years, cycling through Asia,
Americas, Europe.
