Satellite event: Advances in AI for Aerospace Engineering; 5th workshop

In the scope of an agreement for cooperation in Artificial Intelligence (AI), signed in 2019, DLR and ONERA jointly consider AI research challenges in a number of application fields of particular importance in the aeronautics and space domains such as: robotics and autonomy in aerospace systems, hybrid simulation, digital transformation of aerospace industry, processing of geospatial information for earth observation.

In 2020 the cooperation was launched deciding to hold annual workshops. The 1^st and 2^nd editions were organized in the form of virtual conferences. Presentations of scientific contributions and cooperation proposals highlighted the interest of joint action of the two research institutions in the field of AI. Permanent researchers, post-docs and doctoral students discussed approaches and ideas forming the framework of the cooperation project and identified areas of common interest for using AI such as: the necessary robustness of AI, its interaction with humans, the use of AI in space robotics, for Earth observation, for improving the efficiency of computational fluid dynamics and for industry.

In 2022, AI-related presentations were encouraged for ODAS. This led to the receipt of 18 presentation proposals on AI. Of these proposals, 7 were directly linked to the collaboration in AI.

During the 3^rd edition held in presence in Paris in 2023 a day before ODAS, 20 scientists presented their contributions. 25 contributions were presented during the 4^th AI4Aerospace workshop, held in Braunschweig in 2024 two days before ODAS.

The 5th edition will be held on May 19^th to 20^th and potentially May 21^st 2025, in Toulouse, France, just before the ODAS conference at the same location.

Proposals for presentations should be uploaded to https://ai4aerospace25.sciencesconf.org/ before April 10^th 2025
