PAST
June 1-5, 2026
Location:
Vienna, Austria
Venue:
Vienna, Austria; congress venue listed in official program materials
Summary:
A must-track conference for research-led robotics strategy, talent mapping, partnerships, and technology scanning. It is especially important for organizations watching frontier academic work before it becomes commercial robotics product capability.
ICRA 2026 is the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society flagship conference and one of the most important global academic and industry events in robotics and automation. The event includes plenary and keynote sessions, contributed papers, workshops, tutorials, forums, expo activity, robot competitions, and social events, with coverage across autonomy, manipulation, perception, planning, robot learning, human-robot interaction, field robotics, and automation systems.
