robotics, and Autonomous systems are transforming the way industries,
governments, and societies operate by enabling intelligent automation,
autonomous decision-making, and advanced remote operations. These technologies
integrate artificial intelligence, sensors, computer vision, communication
networks, and real-time data processing to perform complex tasks with high
efficiency and precision. From aerial drones used in surveillance, agriculture,
delivery services, and environmental monitoring to robotic systems applied in
healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and smart infrastructure, Autonomous
technologies are becoming essential components of modern digital
transformation. As research and innovation continue to evolve, drones and
robotic systems are expected to play a critical role in shaping future smart
cities, defense systems, disaster response, industrial automation, and
next-generation intelligent transportation systems. The International
Conference on Drones, Robotics and Autonomous Systems (DRAS 2026) invites
researchers, academicians, industry professionals, practitioners, and students
from around the world to submit original research papers, case studies, and
innovative applications in the rapidly evolving fields of drones, robotics,
autonomous systems, and intelligent Autonomous technologies. DRAS 2026 aims to
provide a premier interdisciplinary platform for presenting recent advances,
emerging trends, practical challenges, and future directions in Autonomous
systems and robotics technologies. The conference will foster collaboration
between academia, industry, government agencies, and technology innovators
working on next-generation autonomous and intelligent systems. The conference
welcomes high-quality contributions addressing theoretical foundations, system
architectures, algorithms, experimental studies, prototypes, industrial
deployments, and real-world applications related to drones, robotics, and
autonomous systems. We invite the submission of original papers on all topics
related to Intelligent Systems with special interest in but not limited to: <span></span></span></p>
