ARSO 2027: 23rd IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts
by IEEE Robotics and Automation Society
Research on how robots and autonomous systems affect people and society
About This Event
ARSO 2027, the 23rd IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts, takes place in Mountain View, California, from March 13 to 15, 2027, and the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society lists the Hyatt Centric Mountain View as its venue. The conference studies how robots affect individuals, communities and society, and its call for papers notes the growing use of AI-based components in robotic systems. Topics include embodied intelligence and cognitive robotics, autonomous navigation and manipulation, safety standards, legal and ethical questions, and human-robot interaction. Regular papers run 4 to 6 pages, go through double-blind review and appear in IEEE Xplore. Papers are due December 1, 2026.

Topics & Focus Areas
Who Should Attend
- ✓Robotics researchers
- ✓Heads of robotics
- ✓CTOs at robotics and autonomy companies
- ✓AI governance and responsible AI leads
- ✓Product safety and compliance leaders
- ✓Human-robot interaction designers
Why Attend
ARSO suits a CTO, head of robotics or AI governance lead who has to put autonomous systems near employees or customers. Its topic areas cover safety standards, legal and ethical issues, and robot business and economics, which are the questions a deployment has to answer in legal and procurement review. The dates also make a Silicon Valley trip efficient: HRI 2027 runs March 8 to 12 in Santa Clara and NVIDIA GTC 2027 runs March 15 to 19 in San Jose, so one travel budget can cover three events.
Event Features
- ✓Physical and psychological aspects of human-robot interaction
- ✓Safety standards for advanced robots and autonomous systems
- ✓Legal and ethical issues for advanced robots
- ✓Societal impact, including robot business, marketing and economics
- ✓Robotics for the UN Sustainable Development Goals
- ✓Embodied intelligence and cognitive robotics
- ✓Autonomous driving, drones, delivery and transportation robotics
- ✓Organized, invited and special sessions plus open tracks, submitted through PaperPlaza
What Makes This Unique
- ★The programme centres on the effects of robotics on society, so legal, ethical and economic papers sit alongside engineering work.
- ★It falls between HRI 2027 in Santa Clara (March 8 to 12) and NVIDIA GTC 2027 in San Jose (March 15 to 19), which makes one Silicon Valley trip cover all three.
- ★Position papers of 2 to 4 pages stay out of IEEE Xplore, so authors keep copyright and may post preprints.
- ★Societal impact is a named topic area that includes robot business, marketing and economics.
