LOCATION

The IFAC IAV 2016 will take place in the town ofLeipzig.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe already praised Leipzigwith the lines "Mein Leipzig lob’ ich mir". Art andsciences, trade and creativity – culture, the spiritual andmoney have long enjoyed a fruitful symbiosis here inLeipzig. This is because the concept of global networkinghas a long tradition in Leipzig, one of the world's oldesttrade fair locations – it has long been a place for tradinggoods, but also knowledge and ideas.

City of people, city of books, city of trade fairs, city ofuniversities, city of heroes, city of culture, creativehotspot, economic center, and a center for knowledge –Leipzig fits many labels, and has even more faces thatbelong to this Saxon metropolis. Not so long ago, Leipzigwas the starting point of the Peaceful Revolution.

Today, Leipzig is livelier than ever. Well-knowncompanies such as Amazon, BMW, DHL and Porschehave settled in this business location. Leipzig's researchcenters are among the world's top scientific institutions.World-class artistic highlights include theGewandhausorchester, the Thomanerchor and the NeueLeipziger Schule with Neo Rauch.

Come to Leipzig, and learn more about the home ofLeipziger Messe and the special atmosphere of this city!

The IAV2106 will be conducted at the same place and inparallel to the 20th anniversary of the RoboCup Worldchampionships.

OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

The Symposium targets topics in the field of intelligentautonomous vehicles (IAV). It presents methods andrepresentative techniques to either solve typical problemsor to document successful test cases and applications. Theaddressed modalities of the vehicles may range from land,sea and air to space and they may be designed as multi-vehicle systems, in swarms or networked platoons as wellas individual carriers. Mobile robotic systems may workon domestic, service, field, maritime, ocean, air or spacetasks.

The Symposium covers the full range of topics from on-board vehicle control, interaction with its environment upto auxiliary support systems.

TOPICS

Key topics will include (but not be limited to):• Navigation, Guidance and Control: motion control,

controller design, modeling, stability analysis,trajectory tracking, path following;

• Sensing and Perception: sensors including smart andnetworked, integration of sensors, localizationincluding SLAM map building, recognition;

• Planning and Mission Control: local and globalroadmap planning, task and motion planning decisionsupport systems, driver support systems, advanceddriver assistance systems;

• Architectural Aspects of IAVs: individual vehicles,teams and swarms;

• Communication, Cooperation and Networking:multiple vehicle systems, platoons and teams, vehicleto vehicle communication, operator or infrastructurecommunication, human vehicle interaction;

• Applications, Execution and Use: transportationsystems, land and ocean exploration, remote control,monitoring, teleoperation, fault detection, diagnosisand removal.

The symposium covers the full range of topics from on-board vehicle control, interaction with its environment upto auxiliary support systems.
