ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The International Conference on Intelligent Unmanned Systems 2011 is
organized by the Center for Bio-Micro Robotics Research at Chiba
University, Japan. The event is the 7th conference extending from
previous conferences held in Seoul-Korea (2005,2006), Bali-Indonesia
( 2007), Nanjing-China (2008), Jeju-Korea (2009) and Bali-Indonesia
(2010).

ICIUS 2011 focuses on both theory and application primarily
covering the topics on robotics, autonomous vehicles, intelligent
unmanned technologies and biomimetics. We will invite several
prominent keynote speakers who will focus on related state-of-the-
art technologies including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) & Micro
Air Vehicles (MAVs), Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), Bio-inspired
robotics, Advanced Control, Intelligent Systems etc.
Simultaneously, the exhibition & demonstrations will showcase
advanced relevant technologies in this field.
