The 13th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision, ICARCV 2014, will be held in Singapore in December 2014. The conference is organised by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and technically co-sponsored by (to be confirmed) IEEE Control Systems Society, IEEE Robotics and Automation Society and IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society.

ICARCV focuses on both theory and applications mainly covering the topics of control, automation, robotics and computer vision. In addition to the technical sessions, there will be invited sessions, panel sessions and keynote addresses.
Proceedings of past ICARCVs have been indexed by ISI Proceedings, EI Compendex and included in the IEEE Xplore.
