Call for Papers

2022 5th IEEE International Conference on Unmanned Systems (ICUS 2022), co-sponsored by IEEE Guangzhou Section and Chinese institute of Command and Control, organized by Sun Yat-sen University, will be held from October 28 to 30 in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. 

The conference proceedings will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library for inclusion and being indexed by EI. And so far, all four previous conference proceedings have been included in IEEE Xplore Digital Library and indexed by EI.

Scope

Over the years, unmanned systems, represented by unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, unmanned surface ships, unmanned subsurface systems and robots, are developing rapidly, and have become a new growth pole and key support area of the global economy. Especially, unmanned systems are developing rapidly enabled by artificial intelligence.

This trend is reflected in various topics of interest of ICUS 2022. This conference will serve as a forum for scientists, engineers and practitioners to discuss related issues on unmanned systems, robotics, automation and intelligent systems.
