2026 LSU Symposium on Control, Learning, and Intelligent Systems
LSU Symposium on Control, Learning, and Intelligent Systems
One-day symposium • Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Welcome
Join us at Louisiana State University for a one-day gathering focused on the theory and practice of control, learning-enabled decision-making, and intelligent systems. The symposium is strategically scheduled immediately after the American Control Conference (ACC 2026) to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and strengthen LSU’s national visibility in the control and automation community.
Proceedings: Accepted abstracts will appear in digital proceedings managed by LSU Libraries, with DOI assignment. A no podium, no publication policy applies to registered participants who do not attend in person.
About
The symposium convenes faculty, researchers, and students from LSU and peer institutions to explore emerging directions in control, learning, and intelligent systems—from foundational methods to deployment in robotics, autonomy, and complex engineered systems.
The event includes keynote presentations, technical talks, poster sessions, and networking activities designed to stimulate cross-disciplinary dialogue and catalyze new collaborations with external universities, national laboratories, and industry.
Objectives
- Promote collaboration across LSU faculty and students in ME, ECE, IE, and Computer Science.
- Showcase LSU leadership in modern control and intelligent systems through interactive sessions and tours.
- Expand partnerships with external universities, national labs, and industry collaborators.
- Support early-career researchers and graduate students through direct engagement with experts.
