Intelligent UAV and Collaborative Unmanned Systems Technology

Chair:      Zhen Liu, Xi'an Jiaotong University, China

Co-chair:      Junxuan Yan, Shaanxi Science and Technology Holding Group Research Institute, China

Summary:

Intelligent Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (IUAVs) are unmanned aerial platforms that integrate advanced artificial intelligence, intelligent actuation, autonomous control, and multi-modal perception-decision systems. As a critical component of Unmanned Systems, IUAVs leverage Multi-Agent Dynamic Collaboration Mechanisms to enable task sharing, cross-domain synergy, and effectiveness amplification among heterogeneous/homogeneous unmanned systems in complex operational environments, representing a pivotal direction in unmanned systems development. This session issue focuses on theoretical, methodological, and technological research in the field of Intelligent UAVs and Cooperative Unmanned Systems.
