The 18th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision (ICARCV 2024), will be held
in Sofitel Dubai the Obelisk, Dubai, UAE, 12-15 Dec 2024. The conference is organised by Nanyang
Technological University, Singapore, and technically co-sponsored by IEEE Control Systems Society. The
conference will be held fully in physical mode this time.

ICARCV has a history of more than 30 years. It focuses on both theory and applications mainly covering the
topics of control, automation, robotics and computer vision. In addition to the technical sessions, there will
be invited sessions, plenary speeches, keynote speeches, and plenary panel sessions.

Proceedings of past ICARCVs have been indexed by ISI Proceedings, EI Compendex and included in
the IEEE Xplore. To encourage research sharing, we will also allow authors to submit extended abstracts,
up to 3 pages per abstract, based on journal papers, accepted within 12 months before Dec. 12, 2024, from
top tier journals, to be presented in the conference, which, however, will not be indexed in IEEE Xplore.
