confirm that robots, machines and systems are rapidly achieving intelligence
and autonomy, mastering increasing capabilities in mobility and manipulation,
sensing and perception, reasoning and decision making. The Series of
International Conferences on Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS) founded in 1986
is one of the major events summarizing this trend. The aim of the 13th
International Conference on Intelligent Autonomous Systems is to further
witness the development of these technologies and to foster their adoptions in
the industrial sector. The 13th IAS invites researchers, engineers and experts
to submit high quality papers to disseminate, to share and to fruitfully discuss
their last achievements and results. IAS will provide forum and workshops where
participants could exchange their ideas and experiences in the research and
industrial fields through high quality peer reviewed papers.<o:p></o:p></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><font face="Arial">&nbsp;After the successful IAS-12
