ICRA 2027 — IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation

ICRA 2027, the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, runs 24-28 May 2027 at the Coex Convention & Exhibition Center in Seoul, South Korea. It is the flagship conference of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society and covers all areas of robotics research: submissions are indexed against the RAS keyword list with authors required to select at least three keywords, and authors are strongly encouraged to submit a video clip alongside every paper. Papers are due 15 September 2026, with video submission windows across August and September 2026, acceptance notification on 31 January 2027 and final submissions opening 6 February 2027. The programme adds keynotes and plenary talks, workshops, tutorials, competitions and an industry exhibition across Coex's 48,157 square metres of event space. An 'IROS-ICRA transfer' category accepts papers submitted to IROS 2026 but not accepted there.

• ✓Robotics researchers and engineers
• ✓VPs of engineering evaluating warehouse or manufacturing automation
• ✓Embodied AI and robot learning teams
• ✓Autonomous systems and mobile-manipulation programme leads
• ✓Industrial automation and manufacturing technology directors
• ✓Robotics startup founders and investors
• ✓Graduate students in robotics

ICRA is the densest gathering of robotics research and robotics vendors on the calendar, and Seoul places the 2027 edition inside one of the world's largest manufacturing-automation and consumer-robotics markets. For a VP of engineering evaluating warehouse automation, humanoid or mobile-manipulation programmes, the exhibition and competition tracks show what actually works outside a demo video, while the technical programme is where embodied-AI and foundation-model-for-robotics results land first. Published registration deadlines — author registration 5 March 2027, early registration 31 March 2027 — let a travel budget be planned nine months ahead rather than scrambled for.

• ✓Full technical paper programme covering all areas of robotics, keyword-indexed against the IEEE RAS keyword list with a minimum of three keywords per submission
• ✓Two video submission windows (5 August - 9 September and 17-22 September 2026) for clips accompanying paper submissions
• ✓'IROS-ICRA transfer' submission category for papers submitted to IROS 2026 but not accepted
• ✓Journal paper presentation route via a 31 December 2026 transfer deadline
• ✓Keynote speakers and plenary talks
• ✓Workshops and tutorials programme
• ✓Robotics competitions
• ✓Industry exhibition and partner programme across Coex's 48,157 square metres of event space

• ★The flagship conference of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society and the largest single gathering of robotics research and robotics vendors in the calendar
• ★Video-first submission culture — authors are strongly encouraged to attach a video clip to every paper, across two dedicated submission windows, so results are demonstrable rather than only described
• ★An 'IROS-ICRA transfer' category accepts papers submitted to IROS 2026 but not accepted, giving authors a structured second route
• ★Seoul places the 2027 edition inside one of the world's largest manufacturing-automation and consumer-robotics markets
• ★Registration deadlines are published nine months ahead (author 5 March 2027, early 31 March 2027), which is unusual and makes travel budgeting possible early
