International Symposium on Robotics 2026 Americas (ISR 2026 Americas)
PAST
June 22-25, 2026
Location:
Chicago, Illinois, USA
Venue:
McCormick Place, Chicago, Illinois
Summary:
A strong bridge event for robotics professionals who want research-level robotics content without leaving the commercial automation ecosystem. Because it runs inside Automate, it gives attendees both symposium content and direct access to vendors and production-ready automation technologies.
ISR 2026 Americas is the 59th International Symposium on Robotics and is integrated into the Automate 2026 conference sessions. It brings global robotics research and application perspectives into a trade-show environment, connecting academic work, industrial robotics, machine vision, imaging, motion control, and automation practice.
Previous Edition:
The ISR series is a long-running international robotics symposium; the 2026 Americas edition is listed as the 59th ISR and follows earlier ISR editions hosted around the world.
