In recent years, very complex systems have emerged, above all in service robotics and in assistive robotics. , These advances have been achieved due to e. g. better sensors, new methods of perception, efficient methods of localization and map generation as well as cognitive system components. Another aspect that supports this positive trend is the large number of open source robotic libraries. For example, the Robot Operating System - developed by Willow Garage - allows roboticists to build basic systems faster. Additionally, it has helped to improve the reusability and integrability of large collections of robotic methods in the community. However, the growing complexity of robotic systems still poses a major challenge. From suitable embedded architectures and the support of control software development by powerful frameworks to the actual control architecture, a suitable system design must be found to enable an efficient development process. Also non-functional  features such as real-time capability, reliability, scalability or security must be addressed. The workshop series takes up this topic. Scientists working on these fields of research will present their latest scientific findings as part of the workshops. In addition, scientific questions are to be worked out that have so far been inadequately or not solved.
