IEEE-RAS Humanoids 2026
📅 Sunday, 6 December 2026 → Wednesday, 9 December 2026 in 143 days
IEEE-RAS Humanoids 2026 — the 25th International Conference on Humanoid Robots, Silicon Valley, 6–9 December.
Humanoids 2026, the 25th IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots, takes place 6–9 December 2026 in Santa Clara / Silicon Valley, California, organised by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society. Public forums open on 6 December, with workshops, tutorials and paper sessions through the 9th; 1,200+ attendees are expected.
What you gain
This is the leading conference dedicated exclusively to humanoid robotics — humanoid design, modelling and control; whole-body locomotion and manipulation; learning, perception and AI for humanoid systems; human–humanoid interaction; exoskeletons and prosthetics; and real-world applications in industry, healthcare, the home, space and disaster response.
Where it fits
Humanoids 2026 lands at a pivotal moment: humanoid platforms are moving from the lab into pilot deployments, and "physical AI" — foundation models driving real bodies — is one of the hottest frontiers in the field. Holding the milestone 25th edition in Silicon Valley puts researchers in the room with the companies racing to commercialise the technology.
