The innovation and application of unmanned systems and automation control technologies are of great significance for enhancing national scientific and technological competitiveness and industrial upgrading, and have become a key factor driving economic and social changes in the new era. In order to comply with the national development trend, the 3rd International Conference on Unmanned Systems and Automation Control (ICUSAC 2026) will be held in Beijing, China from October 23 to 25, 2026. This conference aims to comply with the rapid development trend in the field of unmanned systems and automation control, and implement the national innovation-driven development strategy. With the rapid progress of artificial intelligence, big data and advanced sensing technology, unmanned systems and automatic control technology have shown great potential in many fields such as transportation, intelligent manufacturing, agriculture and urban management, promoting the leap of productivity and social progress.

ICUSAC 2026 will bring together experts, scholars and researchers in related fields to conduct in-depth discussions on cutting-edge topics such as driverless technology, intelligent robots, automated manufacturing systems, intelligent control mechanisms, and artificial intelligence algorithms. The conference will share the latest research results and technological innovations through various forms such as keynote speeches, and promote cross-domain ideological collision and cooperation. Universities and scientific research institutions at home and abroad are invited to the conference.
