Special Session 5: Low-Altitude Intelligence: Agents, Autonomy, and Coordination
"低空智能:智能体、自主性与协同"  

The rapid development of low-altitude aerial systems is transforming unmanned aviation, intelligent transportation, urban air mobility, and aerial services. Emerging low-altitude environments require intelligent agents that can perceive dynamic surroundings, make autonomous decisions, communicate and cooperate with heterogeneous platforms, and safely operate in complex and uncertain airspace. This session focuses on the foundations, technologies, and applications of low-altitude intelligence, with particular emphasis on autonomous agents, multi-agent coordination, learning, perception, communication, planning, and control.

随着无人航空、智能交通、城市空中交通及低空服务的快速发展,低空空间正逐步演变为高度动态、异构互联和智能自主的新型应用环境。面向复杂、不确定的低空场景,智能体需要具备环境感知、自主决策、协同通信、任务规划与安全控制等能力。本专题聚焦低空智能的基础理论、关键技术与典型应用,重点探讨自主智能体、多智能体协同、学习、感知、通信、规划与控制等方向。
