ICRA 2026 is the world’s premier robotics research conference — and this year it’s in Atlanta, Georgia from April 11-13. If you’re serious about robotics, this is the one event you don’t miss.
What is ICRA?
The IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) brings together over 3,000 researchers, engineers, and industry leaders from around the world. It’s where the most significant advances in robotics research get their first public presentation — before they show up in products, before they get covered by the press, before the rest of the world knows they exist.
What to Expect at ICRA 2026
- Paper presentations — Hundreds of peer-reviewed research papers across manipulation, locomotion, perception, planning, and human-robot interaction
- Workshops and tutorials — Deep dives on emerging topics including physical AI, embodied intelligence, and humanoid locomotion
- Industry exhibits — Companies like Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, and emerging startups showcasing the latest hardware
- Networking — The single best place to meet the researchers building tomorrow’s robots
Key Topics for 2026
This year’s program is expected to feature heavy representation from:
- Humanoid robot locomotion and manipulation
- Foundation models for robotics (language + vision + action)
- Sim-to-real transfer and large-scale robot learning
- Physical AI and language-instructed robots
Registration and Details
Registration is now open. Early bird pricing is available for IEEE members and students. The conference runs April 11-13 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
