EVENT OVERVIEW

What you need to know

The 2027 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation takes place at Coex in Seoul from 24 to 28 May. ICRA is the flagship conference of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society and combines a peer-reviewed technical programme with plenaries, workshops, tutorials, forums, an industry exhibition and robot competitions.

The conference is planned as an on-site event. Technical-paper submissions have closed, with acceptance decisions due before attendee registration opens. The final programme and PaperPlaza schedule will determine the balance between research tracks, applied demonstrations and industry participation.

KEY THEMES

What to expect

  • Robot learning, embodied AI and autonomous systems
  • Manipulation, perception and human-robot interaction
  • Industrial, field, medical and service robotics
  • Safety, benchmarking and deployment engineering
WHO IT IS FOR

Who should attend

  • Robotics and automation researchers
  • Engineers and technical product teams
  • Graduate students and academic laboratories
  • Industrial robotics companies, startups and investors
WHY IT MATTERS

ICRA is a central evidence-setting venue for robotics: methods are exposed through peer-reviewed papers, demonstrations and competitions before many systems reach commercial products. The 2027 edition will be especially useful for separating measurable advances in manipulation, autonomy, embodied AI and human-robot interaction from generalized claims about intelligent machines.
