2nd Workshop on Signal Processing for Autonomous Systems 

IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP) is the world’s largest and most comprehensive technical conference focused on signal processing and its applications. It offers a comprehensive technical program presenting all the latest development in research and technology in the industry that attracts thousands of professionals annually.

The 2nd Workshop on Signal Processing for Autonomous Systems (SPAS) is a one-day satellite workshop associated with ICASSP 2024, organized by the Autonomous Systems Initiative (ASI) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS). The workshop will bring together researchers working on various aspects of autonomous systems to present the latest advances in the area and discuss future research opportunities and needs from industry. Autonomous systems are gaining major traction in various sectors of industry, including autonomous vehicles, warehouse settings, smart production systems, industrial and infrastructure monitoring, medical systems, etc. There is certainly a great deal of signal processing technology that will be utilized to realize these various systems, but many challenges also exist. Understanding the precise needs in these various domains will be critical in propelling future signal processing research forward The workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners and students from signal processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence fields to share knowledge on methodologies, features and results related to the evaluation, modeling and understanding of autonomous systems.

Topics of Interests

The workshop will aim to attract speakers and solicit high quality papers in many key areas of autonomous systems, including those outside the main specialties of signal processing. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Perception: scene understanding based on multiple sensors such as camera, radar, Lidar; sensor fusion techniques; mapping and localization.

• Networked autonomous systems: cooperative positioning; edge-based and cloud based processing systems; distributed learning; privacy-preserving data analysis.

• Planning and Control: motion planning, distributed and decentralized planning, optimization, robust and optimal control in the presence of uncertainty.

• Human-Autonomous Systems Interaction: interface design, cooperative systems, human factors, robot learning.

• Applications: autonomous cars/trucks, service robots, drones, warehouse and logistics, medical systems, infrastructure.

• General artificial intelligence (AI) based frameworks for signal representation and inference in autonomous systems: theories and techniques.
