                  RoboCup 2012, the 16th in the annual series of RoboCup
                  International Competitions, was held from June 18th to
                  24th, 2012 in the International Exhibition and
                  Convention Center of the World Trade Center in Mexico
                  City, Mexico.  This book documents the event, and
                  serves as the proceedings of the sixteenth edition of
                  the RoboCup Symposium, that is associated with the
                  competition every year.
		  As one of its features, RoboCup aims to transfer
		  research results and technological advances in
		  Robotics and related areas from the laboratory to the
		  real world. The annual RoboCup competitions play a
		  particular role towards this purpose.  An autonomous
		  robot is typically a large-scale system that
		  integrates a variety of techniques from different
		  domains, and thus needs the extensive effort of a
		  whole group.  Meanwhile, different groups throughout
		  the world have developed different robots based on
		  different ideas, concepts and approaches.  Therefore,
		  it is crucial to have these endeavors tested and
		  compared under the same conditions. RoboCup
		  competitions have provided such tests and comparisons
		  on a world-class scale annually.  Each year the
		  conditions are enhanced deliberatively by the
		  community, to keep the tests challenging, fruitful,
		  and approaching closer to real world conditions.
		  The RoboCup International Symposium has been an
		  indispensable part of RoboCup, where researchers
		  exchange and discuss their cutting edge ideas and
		  results related to the initiative, especially those
		  that are stimulated and tested by the competitions.
		  Therefore, the symposium provides a unique forum for
		  exploring and disseminating insights and other results
		  of the worldwide efforts as a part of the RoboCup
		  initiative.
                  For the 16th RoboCup International Symposium, we
                  received 64 submissions.  The submissions were
                  reviewed carefully by the International Program
                  Committee, which consisted of 54 members.  Each paper
                  was reviewed by three reviewers. Overall, we accepted
                  25 of those (39\%), of which 12 (19\%) were chosen for
                  oral presentation.  The symposium also included two
                  invited talks, by Edwin Olson and Martial Hebert.  All
                  accepted papers were presented as posters during the
                  symposium.  The decision on the best paper award,
                  given to the authors of ``Lateral Disturbance
                  Rejection for the Nao Robot'', was made by an Award
                  Selection Committee, based on the results of the
                  review process, and the presentation of the three
                  nominated papers at the symposium.  The two other
                  nominees were ``Robot Localization Using Natural
                  Landmarks'', and ``Throwing Skill Optimization through
                  Synchronization and Desynchronization of Degree of
                  Freedom''.
                  This book begins with papers from some of the Champion
                  teams in the 2012 RoboCup competitions.  These papers
                  both serve as an insight into the technical challenges
                  emphasized by each different event, and also document
                  some of the key technical innovations that were
                  introduced in 2012.  The papers that were nominated
                  for the best paper award come next, followed by the
                  rest of the papers that were accepted for oral
                  presentation at the symposium.  Finally, the papers
                  that were accepted for poster presentation round out
                  the remainder of the book.
                  We would like to take this opportunity to thank the
                  Program Committee members and reviewers for their
                  valuable work, especially their constructive comments
                  and suggestions about the submissions.  We also thank
                  all of the authors for their contributions. We are
                  grateful to the Award Selection Committee members for
                  their careful evaluation and decision of the best
                  paper award.  We give our special thanks to the local
                  organizing committee for their effective and efficient
                  arrangements and support to the symposium.
