A Great Success at IEEE ITSC 2025: The 4th Workshop on Intelligent Vehicle Meets Urban

GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA – November 18, 2025 – The 4th Workshop on Intelligent Vehicle Meets Urban: Safe And Certifiable Navigation And Control was successfully held at the Star Grand, Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Australia, in conjunction with the IEEE ITSC 2025 conference. The event, hosted by Prof. Weisong Wen from the Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering and the Research Centre for Unmanned Autonomous Systems, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, convened leading experts and researchers to address the critical challenges of ensuring safe, robust, and certifiable autonomous navigation in complex urban environments.

The workshop featured a series of high-impact presentations by renowned experts, whose contributions steered discussions on cutting-edge solutions for urban autonomy:

• Prof. Li-Ta Hsu (The Hong Kong Polytechnic University)
• Prof. Timothy D Barfoot (University of Toronto)
• Prof. Fu Zhang (The University of Hong Kong)
• Prof. Yi Zhou (Hunan University, China)
• Dr. Mao Shan (The University of Sydney)
• Prof. Shreyas Kousik (Georgia Institute of Technology)

Their talks covered essential topics from high-precision multi-sensor fusion and radar-based navigation to formal safety methods and LiDAR-centric systems for drones.

A key highlight of the event was the dynamic poster session. Colleagues from our research group and Mr Zhenxing Ming from the University of Sydney presented their latest findings, contributing significantly to the dialogue on next-generation intelligent vehicles. Their exhibited works covered areas such as robust localization, V2X data fusion, and integrity monitoring for autonomous navigation.

The 4th Workshop on Intelligent Vehicle Meets Urban was a resounding success, fostering collaboration and setting new directions for research in safe and certifiable autonomous systems. The organizing committee extends its sincere gratitude to all invited speakers, poster presenters, and attendees for their active participation.
