About
The Technical University of Denmark and the IFAC Technical Committee in Marine Systems welcome you to the 14th IFAC Conference on Control Applications in Marine Systems, Robotics and Vehicles.
​
The conference aims at defining the research, development and innovation agenda within the areas of marine automation, control and robotics bridging the prominent views of academia and industry.
​
This edition of IFAC CAMS will focus on four technological areas that are instrumental for the achievement of the objectives pertaining to UN SDG14: Decarbonization; Autonomy; Cyber-resilience; Human factors in autonomous systems.
Objectives and Research Areas
IFAC CAMS 2022 sets the following objectives:
Identify short-term and long-term research and innovation challenges in the four key thematic areas;
Enable a constructive dialogue between researchers and industry practitioners to develop future innovation waves for the marine automation and robotic sectors;
Inspire the future generation of female and male engineers to join the quest for a sustainable development of the maritime sector.
The conference will pursue the above objectives by setting up a diverse and vibrant program including keynotes from academia and industry, technical sessions, and girl camp.
