IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots 2026 (Humanoids 2026)
UPCOMING
December 7-9, 2026
Location:
Santa Clara, California, USA
Venue:
Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, California
Summary:
The event is highly relevant because humanoid robotics has moved from research prototypes into serious industrial and commercial evaluation. It should be watched for platform architectures, actuation, full-body control, safety, dexterity, and deployment readiness.
Humanoids 2026 is the 25th IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots, the prime specialist venue for humanoid robotics. It covers mechatronics, control, perception, planning, learning, human-robot interaction, biomechanics, artificial intelligence, cognition, neuroscience, mobile robots, service robots, robot learning, and embodied systems that operate in human-centered environments.
Previous Edition:
Humanoids is an annual IEEE-RAS conference established in 2000; 2026 is listed as the 25th edition.
