The content of the reports involved intelligent control and robotics related fields; the conference also set up 8 sub-venues, respectively Group discussions centered on international research hotspots such as robot autonomous learning, machine vision and image processing, intelligent detection systems, motion control and planning and design, artificial intelligence, optimized control and applications, and the actual research work of the participants, attracting many young teachers and students to pass the line Observe and ask questions online and offline.

Academician Chai Tianyou delivered a report

Professor Zhongping Jiang gave a conference report online

This conference conducted in-depth discussions on the latest international scientific research results, cutting-edge hotspots, and national key R&D needs of independent control systems. Scholars at home and abroad gathered in the cloud, colliding ideas in exchanges, inspiring learning through interaction, and sharing academic feasts. Explaining and commenting on cutting-edge theories and technical issues, sharing experience, viewpoints and forward-looking ideas, provides a good opportunity for improving academic standards and promoting the development of disciplines, and enhances the mutual communication between domestic and foreign universities.

In the future, the conference will continue to focus on the core theme and invite more famous experts and young scholars, industry leaders and elites to participate in the seminar. The interactive content will be more oriented to the country's major scientific and technological needs and the actual needs of society, and will be for the development of disciplines and the progress of national science and technology. Create a broader communication platform.
