Focus

This special session focuses on emerging intelligent technologies for automated logistics systems with a strong emphasis on vertical integration across system layers, from multimodal perception and embodied agents to decision-making, system configuration and autonomous planning. Rather than addressing these technologies in isolation, the session highlights architectures and approaches that connect sensing, interpretation, reasoning, and execution within unified logistics solutions. The goal is to examine how tightly integrated methods enable robust and adaptive logistics automation in real-world environments. The session is explicitly designed to foster technical dialogue across traditionally separated research areas.
