Parallel 2026: 5th International Conference on Parallel Robotic Manipulators

Parallel 2026, the 5th International Conference on Theory, Applications and Future Trends for Parallel Robotic Manipulators, is held from 18 to 20 November 2026 at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi. It is a focused robotics research conference dedicated to parallel kinematic mechanisms — their design, control, and use across industrial and emerging applications.

The programme covers parallel and hybrid robot architectures, kinematics and dynamics, control strategies and real-world applications, drawing together roboticists and mechanical-engineering researchers. Confirmed keynote speakers include Sunil K. Agrawal (Columbia University), Dan Zhang (Hong Kong Polytechnic University) and Stéphane Caro (CNRS).

Registration is fee-based, with early-bird rates published on the official Khalifa University event page. As a specialist gathering in a region building out its robotics research profile, it suits researchers and doctoral students working on manipulator design and control; confirm the final programme and current fees on the official page.
