- Abstract
Humanoid robots have become more and more popular, which is illustrated by the increasing number of available platforms and the huge number of high-quality publications in the research area of navigation and motion planning for humanoids. Recently, a lot of progress has been made in the areas of 3D perception, efficient environment representation, fast collision checking, as well as motion planning for navigation and manipulation with humanoids, also under uncertainty and real-time constraints. All these techniques work well for their independent application scenario, however, currently no system exists that combines the individual approaches. Thus, we are still far from the deployment of a humanoid robot in the real world. The goal of this special issue is to identify gaps in the research directions and to discuss which aspect need to be considered for combining the different approaches so as to enable humanoids to reliably act and navigate in real environments for an extended period of time.
