Our mission and dedication are to create intelligent systems that can autonomously operate in a complex and diverse environment, with multiple perception approaches. We are fascinated by novel robot concepts that are best adapted for acting with large-scale and dynamic environments and different terrains. We are furthermore keen to give them the intelligence to autonomously navigate in challenging environments. This includes novel methods and tools for human-robot interaction, perception, cognition, knowledge abstraction, mapping, learning, representation, planning, and execution.
We successfully hold the ICVS 2017 in Shenzhen, China, 9-12 July. Overall, there were 18 technical sessions including three plenary and keynote talks by Prof. Roland Siegwart, Prof. Hesheng Wang and Prof. Yongchun Fang. Over 85 participants enjoyed the three-day event with us. Thanks a lot for your great support and kind help!
The selected papers from ICVS will be published by Lecture Notes in Computer Science, LNCS, Springer later this year.
