CSP - Realization of the Brazilian Symposium on Intelligent Automation - SBAI2017
Abstract
The Brazilian Symposium on Intelligent Automation (SBAI~ Simp~sio Brasileiro de Automa~~o Inteligente) is the main scientificevent" on intelligent automation in Latin America, and is held biannuallyby the Brazilian Society of Automatics (SBA - Sociedade Brasilei""ra deAutoma~~o) and the International Federation of Automatic Control(IFAC). In 2017, the XIII SBAI will be held in Porto Alegre,"" RS,between the 1st and 4th of October under the joint organization of theFederal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS ~ Univers"idade Federaldo Rio Grande do Sul) and the Pontifical Catholic University of RioGrande do Sul (PUCRS ~ Pontif~cia Universidade Cat"~lica do Rio Grandedo Sul).The leading objective of SBAI 2017 is to gatherresearchers, students and professionals that work in ar""eas related toSystems and Intelligent Automation, such as robotics, automation,optimization, control and manufacturing. Scientific"" works are expectedto be presented both with theoretical and technological contributionsregarding a vast field of related topics,"" which include but are notlimited to: machine learning and big data; Localization, mapping,navigation and trajectory planning; Bio""-inspired systems; Wirelesssensor networks; Multi-robots systems, among others.Furthermore, from broad and basic research, to part""icularapplication oriented technological developments, the event maycontribute or support the US Naval Science & Technology Strate"gy inseveral areas of interest. Control Systems Technology and SignalProcessing are two basic engineering areas that permeate the" differenttopics of the event and are extremely relevant to the Naval S&TStrategy. By exploiting and funding basic research, not o""nly incremental gains to existent technology are possible, but alsorevolutionary new capabilities may be pursued in a wide range of"scientific endeavors.Autonomy and Unmanned Systems is a specific focus areaof the US Naval S&T strategy that will benefit from th"is event. In fact,a significant amount of research papers are expected in the generalarea of autonomous vehicles, directly related"" to the X-47B UnmannedCombat Air System and the Autonomous Aerial Cargo/Utility Systems(AACUS), to give two examples. Localization"" and dynamic controlalgorithms, which may be subsequently applied to underwaterautonomous vehicles such as the Large Displacement"" UnmannedUnderwater Vehicle, have also been commonly presented in previousevents.The direct practical outcome of the congress may"" beevaluated by the conference proceedings, which are expected toinclude over three hundred high quality papers with novel contrib""utionsto the area of Intelligent Systems and Automation. Indirect outcomesrelate to the stimulation and development of research, t"ools andalgorithms in this rich and innovative field of research. Anotherimportant outcome of the event will be the instigation of" engineeringstudents to take an active role in Science and Technology.Due to the magnitude and relevance of the event, supporting" SBAI2017 is an opportunity for the ONRG to significantly impact the LatinAmerican community on Autonomous Inteligent systems by ~"investingin a balanced portfolio of breakthrough scientific research, innovativetechnology and talented people.~
