In 2005 for the first time, the DAAD Summer Academy on the Guidance and Control of Autonomous Systems was hosted at the Duisburg campus of the University of Duisburg-Essen. It focused on four topics:

• The impact of perception on supervision
• Advanced techniques for autonomous systems: high level control of autonomous robots
• Verbal and non-verbal communication in the operation and supervision of technical systems: higher-level, symbol-oriented information representation
• New trends in localization, self-localization and task planning

This book summarizes the lectures presented at the Summer Academy, making the material available to interested academics and students.
