ISMCR 2026

27th International Symposium on Measurement and Control in Robotics

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, September 17-18, 2026

 

HYBRID EVENT: For those who, for many reasons, could not travel to BRAZIL, online presentations will be possible. 

AIM

The ISMCR 2026 will explore advances in measurement, sensing and intelligent systems for robotics, with emphasis on autonomous systems and human–robot interaction. Continuing the tradition of previous editions, the symposium provides an international forum for the exchange of recent research results, applications and emerging trends in robotics and related technologies, fully reflecting the interdisciplinary scope of IMEKO TC17.

This edition highlights innovations connecting robotics, metrology, sensing, control, computation and simulation, addressing real-world applications such as smart mobility, industrial automation, healthcare, environmental monitoring and other domains where accurate measurement and intelligent autonomy play a central role.

The central theme of ISMCR 2026 is:
“Intelligent Robotics, Sensors and Autonomous Systems for Real-World Applications.”.

TOPICS

We are looking for original, high-quality contributions addressing (but not limited to) the following topics: Robot design innovations and mechanisms; sensors, smart sensors, multimodal sensing, sensor fusion and calibration; advanced control systems, actuators and embedded platforms; artificial intelligence and machine learning in robotics; mobile, service, humanoid and autonomous robots; human–robot interaction, interfaces and ergonomics; telerobotics, telepresence and remote operation; augmented, mixed and virtual reality (AR/VR/MR) for robotics and simulation; motion tracking, perception systems and multisensory feedback; digital modelling, simulation platforms and Digital Twins; medical, surgical and rehabilitation robotics; industrial automation, smart manufacturing and logistics; environmental monitoring, precision agriculture and sustainability applications; aerospace, safety, risk-prevention and defence-support applications; innovative and cross-disciplinary robotics applications integrating sensing, measurement and metrology.
