The IRoA is a major forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners throughout the world to present the latest re- search, results, ideas, developments and applications in all areas of intelligent robo- tics and automations. Furthermore, we expect that the IRoA-11 and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject. The IRoA-11 is co-sponsored by FTRA. In addition the conference is supported by KITCS and KIITFE. Topic of Interest ----------------------------------------- Track 1.
