Innovations in
Autonomous Systems
Workshop | Oct 6, 10:00 - 18:00Hosted by CSIE @ WCIT2024/DigiTec
Welcome to the Innovations in
Autonomous Systems Workshop
We invite you to join us in Yerevan, Armenia, for the "Innovations in Autonomous Systems" workshop, held as a parallel event to the prestigious World Congress on Innovation & Technology (WCIT). This workshop will bring together leading experts, researchers, and industry professionals to explore the latest advancements and future directions in autonomous systems.
The workshop will feature three comprehensive keynote sessions, each focusing on a different area of the robotics: ground robotics, underwater robotics, and aerial robotics. These sessions will offer deep insights into the cutting-edge technologies driving innovation in each field. In addition to the keynotes, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with interactive demonstrations, explore thought-provoking poster sessions showcasing groundbreaking research, and gain a glimpse into the future of autonomous systems.
As part of WCIT, one of the world’s most renowned technology conferences, this workshop will provide a unique platform for networking and collaboration with global innovators.
Be part of this exciting convergence of minds. Register today and
join us in
shaping the future of autonomy!

Program
Our workshop offers a rich and diverse program featuring keynote sessions, spotlight talks, live demonstrations and poster presentations.
Keynote Sessions
The keynote sessions are structured around three distinct themes that represent the cutting-edge of autonomous technology:
Deep Blue Autonomy (Underwater Robotics): Explore the uncharted depths of underwater robotics, where the challenges of communication, navigation, and exploration push the boundaries of technology. This theme reflects our commitment to advancing technologies that can operate in the most remote and harsh environments on Earth.
Wings of Tomorrow (Aerial Robotics): Discover the innovations driving the future of aerial robotics, including drones and autonomous aircraft. This theme captures the vision of a sky where autonomous systems play a crucial role in everything from logistics to environmental monitoring.
The Rise of Autonomy (Ground Robotics): Delve into the advancements in ground robotics, including self-driving cars and terrestrial robots. This theme symbolizes the growing presence of robotics in our daily lives and the profound impact these technologies will have on transportation, industry, and society.
Each theme was chosen to highlight the diverse applications and future potential of autonomous systems across different environments. Our speakers will provide deep insights into the current state and future directions of these exciting fields.
Spotlight Talks
Selected research from the poster sessions will be highlighted in short, focused spotlight talks. These presentations will offer quick yet deep dives into the key findings and innovations being discussed.
Demonstrations
Experience a wide range of live demonstrations showcasing real-world applications of autonomous systems, from drones to self-driving cars. These demos, presented by CSIE students, will provide a hands-on look at cutting-edge technologies in action.
Poster Sessions
Engage with researchers during our poster sessions, which will cover a broad spectrum of topics within autonomous systems. This is a valuable opportunity to explore specific areas of research in depth and to network with peers in the field.
