About this book

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th Annual Conference on Towards Autonomous Robotics, TAROS 2015, held in Liverpool UK, in September 2015.
The 16 revised full papers presented together with 18 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 59 submissions. The overall program covers various aspects of robotics, including navigation, planning, sensing and perception, flying and swarm robots, ethics, humanoid robotics, human-robot interaction, and social robotics.
