This special issue collects some of the best papers from the 2009 IEEE International Workshop on Safety, Security and Rescue Robotics held at the University of Denver in late 2009. This single-track workshop, in its seventh year, has become the premier venue for search and rescue robotics research and related technologies the world over. Hopping from continent to continent each year, this stop in North America continued the three-year rotation of North America – Europe – Asia.
