{"product_id":"9789814725255","title":"Assistive Robotics - Proceedings Of The 18th International Conference On Climbing And Walking Robots And The Support Technologies For Mobile Machines (Clawar 2015): Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on CLAWAR 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides state-of-the-art scientific and engineering research findings and developments in the area of mobile robotics and associated support technologies around the theme of assistive robotics. The book contains peer reviewed articles presented at the CLAWAR 2015 conference. The book contains a comprehensive collection of papers on legged locomotion with numbers of legs from two upward to multi-legs, which includes robots cable of climbing walls, poles, or more complex structures such as continuing the distinctive CLAWAR themes. There are also a strong showing of articles covering human assist devices, notably exoskeletal and prosthetic devices, as well as social robots designed to meet the growing challenges of global ageing
