The first Tsukuba Challenge started in 2007 as a technological challenge for autonomous mobile robots moving around on city walkways. A task was then added involving the search for certain persons. In these and other ways, the challenge provides a test field for developing positive relationships between mobile robots and human beings. To make progress an autonomous robotic research, this special issue details and clarifies technological problems and solutions found by participants in the challenge. We sincerely thank the authors and reviewers for this chance to work with them in these important areas.
