European Humanoid Robots Summit 2026

The European Humanoid Robots Summit 2026 takes place on 9–11 September 2026 at the Liederhalle in Stuttgart, Germany, organised by ACG Events as a hybrid event. It focuses on humanoid robotics and physical AI — the convergence of advanced robotics with the AI models that let machines perceive, reason and act in the physical world. Stuttgart, at the heart of Germany's automotive and industrial-engineering belt, is a fitting host for a summit about putting intelligent robots to work.

Humanoid and general-purpose robots have moved quickly from research curiosity toward serious commercial interest, driven by progress in foundation models, reinforcement learning, simulation and lower-cost hardware. The summit brings together the research, engineering and commercialisation threads of that story — locomotion and manipulation, perception and learned control, the "physical AI" stack connecting models to actuators, and the business questions of where human-like robots actually make sense. The audience spans robotics researchers and engineers, manufacturers and suppliers, investors and industrial adopters. As Europe works to define its place in a field currently led by US and Chinese labs, a dedicated European summit is a useful gauge of the continent's capabilities; confirm the latest programme and speakers on the official site.
