Track 2. Autonomous Robotics and Automation Systems
Chair: Prof. Bitao Zhang, Guangdong Polytechnic Normal University, China 张碧陶教授（广东技术师范大学）
As global manufacturing and service paradigms undergo profound transformation, the evolution from "automated execution" to "autonomous decision-making" has become the core theme of technological advancement. This track focuses on the deep integration and intelligent upgrade of robotic systems and automation technologies. It emphasizes exploring how to equip machines with the capabilities of perception, cognition, and autonomous action. By focusing on agents operating in unstructured environments and integrating advanced control theory, sensor fusion, and learning algorithms, we aim to advance robotic systems in industrial, service, and specialized applications, toward higher levels of autonomy and collaboration, collectively building the next generation of flexible, intelligent, and reliable automation systems.
