The old AROB-symposium expanded much byabsorbing much new knowledge and technologies intoit. This history and character of the former AROBsymposiums are passed on the current ICAROB
conference and to this journal. The future of theICAROB is brilliant from a point of view of yielding
new technologies to human society in the 21st century.

1. Introduction
It is my great honor to publish a new journal “Journalof Advances in Artificial Life Robotics (JAALR)”
together with ALife Robotics Corporation Ltd. &Robot Artificial Life Society. The contents of thisjournal are often based on articles submitted to The
International Conference on Artificial Life andRobotics (ICAROB). The ICAROB conference
resulted from the AROB-symposium (InternationalSymposium on Artificial Life and Robotics) whose firstedition was held in 1996 [1] and the eighteenth and lastedition in 2013. The AROB symposium was annuallyorganized by Oita University and ALife Robotics
Corporation Ltd (ALife Robotics), under thesponsorship of the Science and Technology Policy
Bureau, presently, the Ministry of Education, Culture,
Sports, Science, and Technology(MECSST), Japanese
Government, Japan Society for the Promotion ofScience (JSPS), the Commemorative Organization for
the Japan World Exposition ('70)(COJWE), Air Force
Office of Scientific Research, Asian Office ofAerospace
ResearchandDevelopment(AFOSR/AOARD), USA. I would like to express mysincere thanks to not only MECSST (annually fundsupport from 1996 to 2013) but also JSPS, COJWE, andvarious other Japanese companies for their repeatedsupport. The old symposium was organized by theReferences
