IEEE Drones for Infrastructure - A Technical Workshop | IEEE Drones for Infrastructure

Thank you for your interest in this workshop. The Organizing Committee has decided to postpone the workshop due to unexpected logistical contingencies.

Please sign up on our mailing list on the Contact Us tab and we will contact you once a new date and location are proposed.

The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) – in collaboration with IEEE North Jersey Section – announces IEEE Drones for Infrastructure 2019, a technical workshop on the design, implementation, applications and societal implications of using drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The workshop is intended for individuals with scientific, technical, policy, and implementation interests in drones and UAVs. Sessions will be available on a wide range of issues from navigation algorithms for cohorts of coordinated drones to the laws ethics of drone-use in inspection in the public arena. Researchers and administrators in these areas are encouraged to submit proposals for special sessions, nominations of keynote speakers, proposals for live demonstrations, and papers for oral and poster presentations.

Workshop Dates: March 19-22, 2019
