Dear colleagues,

It is our great honour and pleasure, to invite you to the 19th International Conference on Intelligent Unmanned Systems (ICIUS 2023), which will be held in Adelaide, South Australia, from the 5th to the 7th of July 2023. The conference will be run onsite and online.  

Our goal is to create an inclusive, respectful conference environment that invites participation regardless of ethnicity, gender, race, religion, age, ability, or sexual orientation. We value diversity in the community and we are seeking to bring this inclusiveness approach to the conference. 

The International Conference on Intelligent Unmanned Systems (ICIUS) is a series of annual international conferences in which the International Society of Intelligent Unmanned Systems (ISIUS) is the primary organiser. ICIUS 2023 is co-organised by the University of Adelaide. The conferences have been successfully run in many countries, and in 2023 it will be held for the first time in Australia. 

The aim of the conference is to stimulate interactions among researchers active in the areas pertinent to intelligent unmanned systems. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to the field of unmanned and intelligent systems for ground, underwater, aerial and space applications. This year we also extend the scope to include off-earth exploration, construction and mining as well as Internet of Things and Virtual Reality.

Besides the excellent technical program, participants will have the opportunity to enjoy their stay in Adelaide, which is consistently voted as one of the most liveable cities in the world with its stunning architecture, vibrant cultural life, historical landmarks, and most importantly its surroundings of beautiful untouched nature.

We look forward to welcoming you to Adelaide in July 2023. We believe that you will greatly enjoy this major scientific event as well as the Australian culture, cuisine, and hospitality.
