Robotics is experiencing a significant transformation, shifting from a primarily industrial focus to engaging more with human environments. Emerging robots are designed to interact, assist, and explore alongside people, increasingly impacting daily lives. The Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics (STAR) aims to share the latest significant and high-quality advancements in the field, fostering collaboration and exchange among researchers to drive progress in this rapidly evolving area. The International Symposium on Robotics Research (ISRR), a pioneering event in robotics, has made fundamental contributions over the past two decades. Since STAR's inception, ISRR and other thematic symposia have provided important platforms for enhancing connections within the robotics community. This twelfth edition of Robotics Research, edited by Sebastian Thrun, Rodney Brooks, and Hugh Durrant-Whyte, features a 14-part volume that encompasses a wide array of topics in robotics. The contributions offer comprehensive insights into the current state of research, addressing both theoretical foundations and technological advancements, as well as exploring traditional and innovative application areas.
