2026 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Automation and Control (ISAC 2026)

The 2025 International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Automation and Control (ISAC 2025) was successfully held in Xi'an from March 28th to 30th, 2025. This conference was hosted by Xi'an University of Technology, and organized by the School of Automation and Information Engineering of Xi'an University of Technology. It was co-organized by Beihang University, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Beijing Institute of Technology, Dalian University of Technology, Xi'an Technological University, Hefei University and Xi'an University of Science and Technology. With the theme of "Intelligent Manufacturing, Control Theory and Application, Automation Technology, Dynamic System Analysis and Intelligent Control", the conference attracted many top experts and scholars, scientific and technological workers, and entrepreneurs from home and abroad to participate, and they jointly discussed the latest research results and future development trends in this field.

Opening Ceremony

The opening ceremony of the conference was grandly held at Xi'an University of Technology. It was presided over by Ye Yingmin, the dean of the School of Automation and Information Engineering of Xi'an University of Technology. He warmly welcomed the participants and emphasized that the purpose of this conference was to provide a scientific research platform for experts and scholars to exchange and share knowledge, and to promote cooperation and development in various fields.

At the opening ceremony, Professor Zhang Xiaohui, the vice president of Xi'an University of Technology, delivered a speech on behalf of the organizing committee. He expressed gratitude to all the leaders and experts for their presence and expressed high expectations for the smooth convening of this conference. Professor Zhang pointed out that the rapid development of intelligent control technology has brought new opportunities and challenges to related fields. He hoped that during the conference, everyone would actively communicate and jointly explore ways to promote the scientific research progress in this field.

Keynote Speech

The meeting then proceeded to the highly engaging presentation session, which was chaired by Professor Celso Grebogi, the director of the Complex Systems and Bio-mathematics Research Center at the University of Aberdeen, a member of the World Academy of Sciences, an academician of the European Academy of Sciences, a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in the UK, and a fellow of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.

The first keynote presentation was delivered by Professor Chen Mou, the dean of the Automation College of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics [National Young Top Scholar, IET Fellow, CAA Fellow]. The title of the presentation was "Research on Anti-interference Control Technology for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Based on Disturbance Observer". Professor Chen Mou shared the progress of his research on designing efficient control systems in complex flight environments and discussed various anti-interference control methods. The participants showed great interest in this and actively participated in the discussions.

Professor Dai Honghua from Northwestern Polytechnical University [National Young Top Scholar] delivered a report titled "On-Orbit Service Dynamics and Control". Professor Dai discussed the significance of service spacecraft in cleaning space debris and repairing malfunctioning satellites, and focused on introducing the real-time calculation technology for dealing with non-cooperative targets. His research was based on the concept of "first deceleration then capture", successfully solving the problems of dynamic modeling and real-time calculation in compliant takeover, and was highly recognized by the attending scholars.

Immediately following this, Professor Li Zhi, a second-level professor from Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology and an academician of the European Academy of Sciences, also delivered an excellent presentation to the participants. The title of his report was "Constrained Inclusion Control". Professor Li Zhi introduced the research results of multi-agent constrained inclusion control, proposed control methods to deal with different constraints and bounded disturbances, and improved the analysis and proof methods for switched topological systems, which sparked extensive discussions among the participants.

Researcher Kong He from Southern University of Science and Technology [a national overseas high-level young talent] presented a talk titled "Robot Sound Perception in the Context of Embodied Intelligence - Opportunities and Challenges", discussing the application opportunities and challenges of robot sound perception in multimodal technology. The talk received high attention from the attendees. The report pointed out that the aim is to enable robots to perceive and understand sound information in complex environments, and addressing these challenges is crucial for the interaction between embodied intelligent systems and the environment.

Professor Liu Kailong from Shandong University, a "National Overseas High-level Talent", presented a talk titled "Intelligent Battery Management Based on Explainable Data Science Technology", in which he thoroughly discussed the cutting-edge technologies in new energy management and energy storage system integration. His presentation sparked in-depth discussions among the audience about green energy technologies.

Professor Zhao Yu from Northwestern Polytechnical University, a recipient of the National Excellent Young Scientist Fund, presented the topic "Integrated Cooperative Decision-Making and Control of Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems". He shared his research journey and achievements in cooperative control, and many participants expressed great appreciation and expressed their desire to continue exchanges and cooperation.

Professor Qi Wenhai from Qufu Normal University has proposed a new idea regarding "Control of Semi-Markov Switching Systems". His exploration and application in the field of control system research have enhanced academic exchanges within the domain.

Finally, Associate Professor Li Yanke from Xi'an University of Technology took the stage with his talk titled "Multi-source Interference Suppression in Stochastic Control and Its Applications", bringing the conference to a climax. His research on complex system control provided the participants with new perspectives and thoughts.

Oral Presentation

During the meeting, the participants actively raised questions and engaged in lively discussions with the keynote speaker, which deepened their understanding and reflection on their respective research fields. After the keynote speech, the young scholars presented their latest research achievements in the fields of intelligent systems, automation and control through oral reports.
