2026 IEEE Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2026) will take place in Vienna, Austria on June 1-5, 2026.

Being the flagship conference of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, ICRA will bring together the world’s top researchers and leading companies to share ideas and advances in Robotics and Automation. The conference will include plenary sessions, contributed paper sessions, workshops and tutorial sessions, forums, exhibitions, and robot competitions.

Paper Submission: Deadline: 15 September 2025 (23:59 PST)

Papers to ICRA 2026 can be submitted on the PaperPlaza Portal. The page limit is 6 pages for the paper (text, figures, tables, acknowledgement, etc.) + 2 pages for the bibliography/references. Papers exceeding the (6+2) page limit at the time of submission will be returned without review.

All papers must be submitted in PDF and must follow the ICRA double column format. Since this year, the ICRA review process is double-anonymous. While all co-authors must be entered in Paperplaza when submitting the paper, the author information must be removed on the submitted PDF. Information and templates are available here.

Submission of accompanying videos: Open (1) Aug 5-Sept 9, 2025, and (2) Sept 17-22, 2025 (23:59 PST).

We strongly encourage authors to submit a video clip to complement the paper submission. Please note that a video that was NOT submitted with the initial submission of an ICRA paper (during the two submission windows), will NOT be accepted at a later date.

Video uploads will be unavailable between 10 September and 16 September 2025, to allow the unhindered uploading/updating of the PDF manuscripts of contributed papers during that period.
