IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids 2026)

The IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids 2026) focuses on advances in humanoid robotics, examining anthropomorphic design, control systems, sensing and learning, human–robot interaction, neuro-robotics, and real-world applications across industrial, medical, social, and exploratory domains.

Key Topics

• Principles and technologies for anthropomorphic/bionic design and control
• Novel materials, devices, mechanisms, energy system for humanoids
• Software and hardware architecture, system integration
• Whole-body dynamics, control, sensing, informatics
• Measuring, modeling and simulating humans
• Teleoperation, tele-experience, tele-presence using humanoids
• Humanoid locomotion, manipulation, perception, planning
• Human and humanoid skills/cognition/interaction
• Adaptation, learning and cognitive development of humanoids
• Humanoids for human science and engineering
• Cyborgs, prostheses, assistive devices and sensor/motor suits
• Neuro-robotics and brain-robot interfaces for humanoids and humans
• Social interaction and acceptability
• Applications: home, field, space, social, industrial, medical, health/mental care, art/entertainment, education
• Superhuman humanoids / future humanoids (possibility, technology and meaning)
• Grand challenges, competitions, outreach
• Humanoid ethics and philosophy
