International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS 24)

2024 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems, ICUAS ’24 https://uasconferences.com/ .

The conference will feature three relevant keynote speakers in the area
-Prof. Dario Floreano, EPFL, Biologically Inspired Drones
-Dr. Chester Dolph, NASA, Mapping Advanced Air Mobility to Mature Flight Operations
-Prof. Margarita Chli, ETH, Vision-based Perception

ICUAS ’24, will take place on June 4-7, 2024, in Chania, Crete, Greece. It is organized for the first time in the historical Center of Mediterranean Architecture (KAM), which is hosted in the Great Shipyard (Megalo Arsenali) of Chania. It is the last of the 17 shipyards located in the Venetian port of the Old Town of Chania. The conference is sponsored by the Technical University of Crete (TUC).

ICUAS ’24 focuses on civil and public domain applications, on the societal impact of unmanned aviation, and its effect on everyday quality of life. Although technical challenges cover a wide spectrum of topics, of special importance is research and development in: 1) bioinspired aerial platforms; 2) hybrid aerial platforms; 3) design for resiliency, 4) human factors, and 5) framework and regulations for integration into the national airspace.

ICUAS ’24 brings together, under one forum, national and international organizations, federal agencies, industry, the private sector, authorities, end-users, and practitioners, who work towards defining roadmaps of Unmanned Aircraft Systems/Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (UAS/RPAS) and set expectations and technical requirements and standards that are prerequisite to their full utilization and integration into the national airspace. Special emphasis will be given to research opportunities, and to ‘what comes next’ in terms of the tools and support technologies, and standards, which need to be utilized and implemented to advance the state-of-the-art.

ICUAS ’24 offers unique opportunities to meet, interact and shape the future of unmanned aviation, worldwide, bringing together the technical, regulatory, and legal communities. Details and logistics about the conference may be found at http://www.uasconferences.com  and related links.

ICUAS ’24 is fully sponsored by the ICUAS Association, Inc., a non-profit organization, see www.icuas.com. It is technically cosponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society, the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, and the Mediterranean Control Association.

CONFERENCE STRUCTURE

ICUAS ’24 spans four days. The first day is devoted to Workshops and Tutorials. This is followed by three days of technical presentations. The 2024 conference aims to be ‘physical presence’ only with the requirement that every accepted paper is presented.

Accepted, contributed, and invited session papers only, will be allowed up to two additional pages for an extra charge per additional page. Poster papers should aim at novel and cutting-edge ideas with potential, however, not yet fully developed.

Invited Sessions: Proposals for invited sessions should contain a summary statement describing the motivation and relevance of the proposed session, the invited paper titles, and the names of the authors. Authors must submit FULL invited papers. Each paper must be marked as “Invited Session Paper”.

Workshops and Tutorials: Proposals for workshops and tutorials should contain title, list of speakers, and extended summaries (2000 words) of their presentations.

All contributions (papers, invited papers, proposals for invited sessions, workshops, and tutorials) must be submitted electronically through https://controls.papercept.net by the due date.

Paper Review Process: All submitted papers will undergo a thorough peer review process coordinated by the Program Chairs, Advisory Committee Members, IPC members, Associate Editors, and qualified reviewers.
