The German Workshop on Robotics 2009 will bring together roboticists from academia and industry working on algorithmic or mathematical foundations of robotics, design and analysis of robotic systems as well as robotic applications. Contributions from researchers in all German-speaking countries as well as from the international robotics community are solicited in all areas of robotics.

The conference will be single-track to allow all attendees to experience and to discuss superior research results in all areas of robotics. To ensure high quality, a highly selective review process will lead to the final program.

Beside oral and poster presentations of refereed papers, invited talks of internationally renowned researchers will complete the conference program. All presented papers will be published by Springer-Verlag to achieve high international visibility.
