ACODS 2026 brought together leading researchers, academicians, and industry professionals from across the globe to discuss recent advances and emerging trends in control, optimization, and dynamical systems. 9th ACODS-2026 aims to bring together engineers, scientists, and academics working in advanced areas of control and optimization of dynamical systems. The theme of the conference is broad enough to encompass both theory and applications. Application areas include, but are not restricted to, robotics, aerospace vehicles, manufacturing, process control, computer-aided control, biomedical engineering, automation, and mechanical and electrical systems. Papers are invited in these and other areas where the control and optimization of dynamical systems play a crucial role. The conference will also feature several special sessions. AI in Controls, Adaptive and Learning Systems, Aerospace Systems and Controls, Biological, Medical Systems, Complex Systems, Computational Techniques.

The conference is co-sponsored by international organizations in association with IFAC, including the Automatic Control and Dynamic Optimization Society (ACDOS), India.
