Summary

Unmanned systems, e.g., unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and robot swarms, have become increasingly critical in complex environments such as disaster rescue, industrial inspection, smart manufacturing, and smart grids. However, challenges including dynamic disturbances, resource constraints, cyber-attacks, and multi-agent coordination demand breakthroughs beyond conventional methods in perception accuracy, real-time decision-making, and control robustness. This special issue focuses on cutting-edge technologies for intelligent perception, decision-making, and security control of unmanned systems in complex environments, aiming to enhance system autonomy through innovative approaches like multimodal fusion, artificial intelligence (AI), distributed learning, and adaptive control method.


Topics of interest in this special Section include (but are not limited to):
· Lightweight and adaptive perception models in unmanned systems
· Real-time autonomous decision-making and game strategies in unmanned systems
· Swarm intelligence and self-organizing coordination in unmanned systems
· Robust, adaptive and resilient control in unmanned systems
· Security, safety, trustworthiness, and ethical compliance frameworks in unmanned systems
· Advanced AI-based technologies and applications in unmanned systems
· Applications of unmanned systems, e.g. disaster rescue, industrial inspection, and smart manufacturing, and smart grids


Keywords
