The conference offers a unique and interesting platform for scientists, engineers and practitioners throughout the world to present and share their most recent research and innovative ideas in the areas of unmanned systems (air, space, ground, and maritime systems), robotics, automation, and intelligent systems.

ICIUS is a well-established annual conference, which addresses the rapidly changing state of the art in unmanned systems (including Unmanned Aerial/Space Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) etc), and provides insights into the paths ahead for fundamental research, devices development and technology deployment around the world. The conference represents the highest pedigree in the fields of intelligent unmanned systems, with high quality content and international networking. This is the premier global event combining academic excellence with industrial representations within the conference, augmented by exhibitions and workshops planned to be held around the conference programme. At this conference, researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners from all over the world congregate to exchange knowledge and expertise in the development and innovative applications of all types of unmanned systems, payload and accompanying systems. Pre-conference workshops offered by word leading researchers and industrial engineers in the fields will also be offered by ICIUS 2014.

Location:
Montreal is a welcoming and cosmopolitan city, with legendary dining, world-renowned museums and performing arts, chic shops, and a population ferociously proud of its language and culture. Built on an island of the same name, Montréal lies in a bend of the St. Lawrence River 1,609 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean. It embraces an inner-city mountain and a sea-level riverside, historic buildings and striking modern architecture, a French-speaking majority and a sizable Anglophone population. The downtown core and most visited neighborhoods are busy and vibrant. Autumn is the most picturesque time of a year in Montreal and surrounding areas as maple leaves change into vibrant shades of golden yellow, orange and red. It is the perfect time to enjoy the splendid view of maple leaves and experience the unique autumn feeling in the world’s largest bilingual (French and English) city: Montreal (http://www.icius2014.org/content/local-attractions-and-tours).
