Special Issue on Advances on Physical Agents

The Workshop on Physical Agents intends to be a forum for information and experience exchange in different areas regarding the concept of embodied agents, especially applied to the control and coordination of autonomous systems: robots, mobile robots, domotics, agents, industrial applications or complex systems. This special issue brings together a selection of revised and extended papers that were first presented at the XIII Workshop on Physical Agents (WAF'2012), which was held the 3rd and 4th of September 2012 at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain).
