IEEE CASE 2025: Call for Papers

The 2025 IEEE 21st International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE 2025) will be held on August 17 – August 21, 2025, in Los Angeles, California, USA.

CASE 2025 is one of the three flagship conferences of the IEEE Robotics & Automation Society and provides a primary forum for cross-industry multidisciplinary research in automation.

The conference will focus on Secured and Trustworthy Automation: Automation systems such as collaborative robotics, self-operating systems and vehicles, smart manufacturing, healthcare, farming, transportation & logistics, and smart cities, increasingly rely on secured and trustworthy automation. Research is needed to overcome vulnerability and bias due to imperfect system design, data collection, machine learning, or control.

Conference Topics

The conference will cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Foundation of Automation
• Human-centered automation
• Automation in life science and healthcare
• Sustainability and green automation
• Automation in agriculture and horticulture
• Automation in meso, micro and nano-scale
• Smart building and construction
• Knowledge-based automation
• Manufacturing automation
• Cloud-based automation
• Big data, data mining and machine learning
• Privacy and security in automation
