About the Workshop
This workshop is organized under the MeitY-funded consortium project:
“Capacity Building for Human Resource Development in UAS (Drone-related Technologies)”
The two-day workshop focuses on modern planning and control techniques for UAV systems, covering both classical methods and learning-based approaches.
Participants will gain exposure to state-of-the-art research and practical insights in UAV intelligence, autonomy, and safety-critical deployment.
Workshop Topics
- Geofencing control of multi-agent systems in safety-critical missions
- AI-based perception and planning
- Discrete and sampling-based motion planning
- Adaptive control in aerial manipulation
- Visual topological navigation
- Reinforcement learning-based planning
