Welcome to ICAUAS 2026

On behalf of the organizing committee, we warmly welcome you to the website for the 2026 4th International Conference on Advanced Unmanned Aerial Systems (ICAUAS 2026), which is organized by Shanghai Dianji University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology, co-organized by Shanghai Jiao Tong University‌ and Tsinghua University‌, technically co-sponsored by CoreShare Academic Exchange Center, and will be held from October 16-18, 2026, in Shanghai, China. This conference provides a forum for the discussion and dissemination of knowledge and results in theory, methodology, and new advances in Advanced Unmanned Aerial Systems and their applications in many other fields of science and engineering.

Our conference is a fully approved and peer-reviewed process. Each paper is blind peer-reviewed for its suitability, academic content, and thoroughness. Accepted papers will be included in the digital proceedings and submitted to major citation databases (including, but not limited to Ei Compendex and Scopus) for review and indexing. 

We are pleased to invite you to submit your paper that highlights your research results to the conference. Meet and network with your peers in the area of your research.
