Proceedings of 2021 International Conference on Autonomous Unmanned Systems (ICAUS 2021)

This book includes original, peer-reviewed research papers from the ICAUS 2021, which offers a unique and interesting platform for scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the world to present and share their most recent research and innovative ideas. The aim of the ICAUS 2021 is to stimulate researchers active in the areas pertinent to intelligent unmanned systems. The topics covered include but are not limited to Unmanned Aerial/Ground/Surface/Underwater Systems, Robotic, Autonomous Control/Navigation and Positioning/ Architecture, Energy and Task Planning and Effectiveness Evaluation Technologies, Artificial Intelligence Algorithm/Bionic Technology and Its Application in Unmanned Systems.

The papers showcased here share the latest findings on Unmanned Systems, Robotics, Automation, Intelligent Systems, Control Systems, Integrated Networks, Modeling and Simulation. It makes the book a valuable asset for researchers, engineers, and university students alike.



1. National University of Defense Technology

When the predecessor of the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), i.e., Harbin Institute of Military Engineering, was founded in 1953, Chairman Mao Zedong personally issued the Motto and titled the academic journal Engineering Science. There are nearly 200 first-rate teachers, including academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering, who have made a large number of independent innovation achievements represented by Tianhe-2. Besides, the University has achieved significant results, including Tianhe series supercomputer systems, key supporting technologies for the Beidou navigation satellite system, Tiantuo series micro-nano satellites, laser gyro, ultra-precision processing and maglev trains, etc.

In July 2017, the College of Mechatronic Engineering and Automation of the National University of Defense Technology was restructured into the College of Intelligence Science and Technology, which consists of the Department of Automation, Department of Intelligent Machinery and Instruments, Department of Intelligent Science and Technology, Institute of Unmanned Systems, and Institute of Mechatronic Engineering. The College focuses on the research of intelligent unmanned systems, artificial intelligence, biological intelligence, mixed intelligence, etc.
