We will have the p re-drink with the newly arrived pandas Xing Qiu and Yi Lan and a 3-course dinner at Fig Tree.\nThe tickets are heavily subsidized by CAES\, with a n ormal ticket price of $235 per person\, the cost to our members will be $3 0 per person. Registration is open exclusively to members of the IEEE Aero space and Electronic Systems Society and the IEEE Control Systems Society in South Australia. Members are allowed to invite one guest.\n\nTo reserve you place please register by 01 June 2025.\n\nFor more information and fo r registration\, please visit the event [Trybooking page](https://www.tryb ooking.com/events/landing/1384017)\n\nLooking forward to meeting you and y our guests.\nWaddah Al-Ashwal\, Chair\, IEEE SA CAESS Chapter\n\nAgenda: \ nEvent Schedule:\n1. Arrival: 05:00 pm - Pre-dinner drinks at Bamboo Fores t\n2. Panda talk with newly arrived Xing Qiu and Yi Lan: 05:30 pm\n3. Dinn er: 06:00 pm to 10:00 pm - Three-course dinner at Fig Tree function center \n\nThere will be an invited talk during the dinner on AI for Animal Welfa re.\n\nTitle:\n\nAI for Animal Welfare: Monitoring Orangutan Behaviour and Emotion through Intelligent Systems\n\nAbstract:\n\nIdentifying and under standing animal behaviour and emotional states remains a critical challeng e in modern animal welfare assessment\, particularly in zoo environments w here individualised care is essential. Students from the University of Ade laide have worked on an interdisciplinary project to address this challeng e by developing AI-based systems for monitoring orangutan behaviour and re cognising emotional states at Adelaide Zoo. By integrating computer vision \, machine learning\, and behavioural science\, the project enables contin uous\, non-intrusive observation to support zookeepers in making informed\ , data-driven decisions about animal care.\n\nUsing a camera system instal led in the orangutan habitat\, students applied pose estimation and deep l earning techniques to classify behaviours such as resting\, feeding\, and social interaction. In parallel\, they developed a facial recognition syst em to identify individual orangutans and interpret their emotional states through subtle facial expressions\, using techniques such as Histogram of Oriented Gradients and YOLO-based models. This project not only enhances t he zoo's capacity for welfare monitoring but also offers students invaluab le experience applying AI and robotics to real-world conservation challeng es. The presentation will highlight the technical approaches\, results\, a nd broader impact of this work on animal care and interdisciplinary educat ion.\n\nSpeakers:\nJasmin Lu \, Georgia Mason\, Isabella Cordera and Anwit ha Aromel\nThe University of Adelaide\n\n[speakers]\n\nAdelaide Zoo\, From e Rd\, Adelaide SA 5000\, Adelaide\, South Australia\, Australia\, 5000 LOCATION:Adelaide Zoo\, Frome Rd\, Adelaide SA 5000\, Adelaide\, South Aust ralia\, Australia\, 5000 ORGANIZER:waashwal@ieee.org SEQUENCE:41 SUMMARY:CAES Dinner at Adelaide Zoo URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/481543 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Following the resounding success of last y ears social event\, the South Australian IEEE Joint Control\, and Aerospac e and Electronic Systems Chapter Executive Committee will host a special e vent at Adelaide Zoo on 14th June 2025 for local members and invited guest s.
