We would like to remind you that the submission deadline for the Invited Session Proposal titled “Aerial Robotics in Inspection and Maintenance Operations – From Design to Deployment,” to be presented at ICUAS24 in Chania, Crete, is drawing near and is set for January 19th, 2024.
Important Dates
=======================
Interested authors looking to submit a paper for the upcoming conference and session should prepare a document containing:
– List of authors, proposed paper title, and a brief abstract, and send it by January 19th, 2024, through the email address icuas24session@googlegroups.com.
Authors will be notified about the decision and provided with further submission instructions by January 31st, 2024.
Abstract and Scope
=======================
Aerial robots are becoming increasingly vital in inspection and maintenance operations, demonstrating advanced maneuverability for complex airborne tasks. These include visually examining electrical power line components, searching for cracks in pipelines at oil and gas facilities, and inspecting leading-edge erosion in wind turbine maintenance operations. Aerial robot technologies are revolutionizing high-altitude inspections and maintenance by utilizing onboard AI systems for detailed visual analysis and defect identification. They play a crucial role in high-risk environments, monitoring personnel safety with advanced sensors and enabling safe contactless interactions between humans and drones. Additionally, these robots are capable of performing direct physical tasks, such as delivering tools and conducting automated replacement operations. Despite their numerous advantages, they encounter challenges in development and control, necessitating precise navigation and operation within tight, unstructured spaces. A key focus is on ensuring safety, reliability, and autonomy, with designs that enable independent control of position and orientation in hard-to-access areas.
This special session is dedicated to highlighting state-of-the-art research in the field of aerial robotics, particularly as it pertains to inspection and maintenance operations. We are seeking contributions that explore a wide range of topics within this domain. Key areas of interest include innovative design, advanced control systems, autonomous navigation, direct physical interaction, safety monitoring in high-risk environments, and human-robot interaction, among others.
Topics
=======================
The primary list of topics of interest includes, but is not limited to:
* Innovative Design and Engineering of Aerial Robots
* Advanced Dynamics and Control Systems
* Autonomous Navigation and Path Planning
* AI and Machine Learning in Aerial Robotics
* Sensor Fusion and Data Processing
* Human-Robot Interaction and Collaboration
* Physical Interaction and Aerial Manipulation

WIFS is to bring together researchers working in the different areas of
information forensics and security to discuss challenges, exchange
ideas, and share state-of-the-art results and technical expertise, with
the aim of building a community capable of providing adequate tools and
solutions to face the challenges of tomorrow.
WIFS 2024 will be held in Rome, Italy, from December 2 to December 5,
hosted by Roma Tre University, and it will see the participation of
researchers from all over the world, who will allow to have a high-level
technical program, also thanks to the expertise of the program committee
involved, and who will have the opportunity to exploit an interesting
social program taking advantage of the charm of the Eternal City.
CALL FOR TUTORIALS
The organizing committee invites proposals for Tutorials on relevant and
emerging topics in the area of Information Forensics and Security.
Tutorials will be given during the first day of the conference, on
Monday December 2, 2024.
CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS
The organizing committee invites proposals for innovative and
high-quality special sessions on emerging topics, which complement the
regular program of the conference. Special sessions should both provide
an overview of the state of the art in the proposed field, and highlight
the most promising research directions, trends and issues. Special
session proposals will be evaluated based on the proposed topic, the
expected impact, the expected quality of the contributed papers, and the
session organizers and contributing authors. Special session paper
submissions will be reviewed via the same process used for the regular
program, and papers are expected to meet the same quality standards.
Accepted and presented papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE
Xplore.
CALL FOR DEMOS
The organizing committee invites proposals for demonstrations of
applications in information forensics and security topics. Demos are

goal of providing researchers and practitioners with the opportunity to
discuss working systems, applications, prototypes, or proof-of-concepts.
Accepted and presented demos will be described in short papers that will
be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore.
CALL FOR CHALLENGES
The organizing committee invites proposals for challenges addressing
problems that will engage and excite the information forensics and
security research community. Challenge organizers should provide a
dataset to participating teams, including data to train and test the
