IROS 2027 — IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems
by IEEE Robotics and Automation Society and the Robotics Society of Japan
One of the two flagship robotics research conferences, at Florence's Fortezza da Basso
About This Event
IROS 2027, the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, runs 26 September – 1 October 2027 at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence, Italy. Co-sponsored by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society and the Robotics Society of Japan, IROS is one of the two flagship robotics research conferences alongside ICRA, and the 2027 edition emphasises human-centric robotics development, artificial intelligence integration, and sustainable robotics for manufacturing and climate applications. The paper submission deadline is 1 March 2027. Scale is substantial and growing: IROS 2025 accepted 1,991 of 4,306 submitted papers, a 46.2% acceptance rate. Editions pair the peer-reviewed technical programme with workshops and tutorials on the bracketing days, plenary talks and a robotics exhibition.

- ✓Manufacturing technology leaders
- ✓AI/ML research scientists
Why Attend
Embodied AI is the part of the field that turns capital expenditure into throughput — warehouse automation, mobile manipulation, inspection drones, surgical robotics and humanoid platforms. IROS is where the perception, planning and manipulation methods behind those systems are published, and a Florence edition puts European industrial-robotics manufacturers, research institutes and systems integrators within reach of a single trip. For a CTO or VP of operations technology deciding whether a robotics deployment is two years out or five, the workshop and exhibition tracks give a far more honest read than any vendor demonstration.
Event Features
- ✓Peer-reviewed technical programme with a 1 March 2027 paper submission deadline
- ✓Workshops and tutorials on the days bracketing the main conference
- ✓Plenary and keynote talks
- ✓Robotics exhibition and live industry demonstrations
- ✓Human-centric robotics thematic focus
- ✓AI integration and sustainable-robotics programme emphasis

Pricing Details
Registration for IROS 2027 is not yet open and Florence prices are unpublished. IEEE robotics conferences of this size price in a comparable band — ICRA 2027 has published early-bird main-conference rates of $720 for IEEE RAS members, $800 for IEEE members, $1,100 for non-members and $420–$550 for students, rising to $1,080–$1,500 standard, with workshops and tutorials from $100–$400 and virtual attendance at $200. Expect IROS 2027 to land in a similar range once registration opens.
