Dear Colleagues,

Robotics is a synergistic technology absorbing discoveries and inventions from various fields of science and technology. With this inspiration from other disciplines we are able to build new kinds of robots that are better able to serve humans in new and novel ways. The theme of ICAR 2011 is New Boundaries for Robotics. It will seek to share new ideas, weird connections, unexpected mixes of technologies, methods and approaches which have been applied to solve new kinds of problems in new application areas.

Looking forward to welcoming you in Tallinn,

Maarja Kruusmaa, General Chair
Xiaobo Tan, Program Chair
Raj Madhavan, Publication Chair
Paolo Fiorini, Finance Chair
