This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th Chinese Intelligent Systems Conference, CISC 2024, which was held on October 26–27, 2024, in Guilin, Guangxi, China. The book focuses on new theoretical results and techniques in the field of intelligent systems and control. This is achieved by providing in-depth studies of a number of important topics such as multi-agent systems, complex networks, intelligent robots, complex systems theory and swarm behaviour, event-driven and data-driven control, robust and adaptive control, big data and brain science, process control, intelligent sensors and detection technology, deep learning and learning control, navigation and control of flying vehicles, and so on. The book is particularly suitable for readers interested in learning intelligent systems and control and artificial intelligence. The book can benefit researchers, engineers and graduate students.
