3rd Workshop on Signal Processing for Autonomous Systems

Organized by Autonomous Systems Initiative (ASI) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS)

to be held in conjunction with EUSIPCO 2025

Sept. 12, Palermo, Italy

The 33rd European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2025) will be held in Isola delle Femmine – Palermo – Italy, on September 8-12, 2025. EUSIPCO is recognized as one of the premier signal processing conferences, attracting delegates and papers from all over the world, and covers a large number of applications of interest related to signal processing: just to mention a few, audio and acoustic, speech and language, image and video, multimedia, sensor array, communications, radar and sonar, compressed sensing, sparse modelling, optimization methods, machine learning, bio-medical, vision and robotics, spectral imaging, information forensics and security, power systems, education, bioinformatics and genomics, big data, internet of things, design and implementation of systems.

The 3rd Workshop on Signal Processing for Autonomous Systems (SPAS) is a half-day satellite workshop associated with EUSIPCO 2025, 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.

Call for Papers

The workshop paper follows the same guidance as EUSIPCO regular sessions. The workshop paper should be written in English with a maximum paper length of five (5) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, references and appendices. Papers exceeding 5 pages will neither be accepted, nor will they be reviewed. The accepted workshop papers will NOT be included in IEEEXplore.
