IEEE International Symposium on RObotic and SEnsors Environments 2026 (ROSE 2026)

ROSE 2026 focuses on sensing systems and technologies for robotics and industrial automation, including how sensors affect autonomous robotics, intelligent systems development, human-robot cooperation, multimodal sensing, perception technologies, and related applications. It is narrower than large robotics conferences and valuable for teams concerned with robust perception and sensing architectures.
