The National Technical Seminar on Unmanned System Technology 2019 (NUSYS'19) was organized by the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (OES) Malaysia Chapter and Malaysian Society for Automatic Control Engineers (MACE) IFAC NMO. NUSYS'19 was held during December 2-3, 2019, at Universiti Malaysia Pahang, Gambang Campus, Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia, with a conference theme "Unmanned System Technology and AI Applications". The event was the 11th conference continuing from previous conferences since the year 2008. NUSYS' 19 focused on both theory and application, primarily covering the topics of intelligent unmanned technologies, robotics and autonomous vehicle. We invited four keynote speakers who dealt with related state-of-the-art technologies including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), underwater vehicles (UVs), autonomous vehicles, humanoid robot and intelligent system, among others. They are Mr. Kamarulzaman Muhamed (Founder and CEO Aerodyne Group, "CEO of Top 10 hottest start-up company by Nikkei Japan, May 2019"), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hanafiah Yussof (Founder, Board of Director and Group Chief Officer of Robopreneur Sdn. Bhd.), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hairi Zamsuri (General Manager eMoovit Technology Sdn. Bhd.) and Mr. Mohd Fairuz Nor Azmi (Project Manager, Fugro Malaysia Marine Sdn. Bhd. formerly known as Fugro Geodetic Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.). The objectives of the conference are threefold: to accommodate a medium to discuss a wide range of unmanned system technology between universities and industries, to disseminate the latest technology in the field of unmanned system technology and to provide an opportunity for researchers to present their research paper in the unmanned system technology area.
