会议背景

In recent years, the field of automation and robotics has experienced significant advancements, revolutionizing industries and shaping the future of technology. Automation involves the use of technology to perform tasks with minimal human intervention, while Robotics focuses on the design and development of intelligent machines capable of interacting with the physical world. The rapid development of automation and robotics has been fueled by advancements in key technologies such as sensors, actuators, control systems, machine learning, computer vision, and human-robot interaction. These technologies have enabled the creation of autonomous systems that can perceive their environment, make decisions, and execute tasks efficiently.

The 12th International Conference on Automation, Robotics and Applications (ICARA 2026), scheduled for February 5-7, 2026 in Istanbul, Turkey, will serve as a premier global forum for researchers, engineers, and industry leaders. This event will facilitate the exchange of cutting-edge knowledge, presentation of groundbreaking research, and in-depth discussions on the latest technological advancements. The conference program will comprehensively address critical domains including autonomous systems architecture, advanced control algorithms, cognitive robotics, machine vision systems, natural human-robot interaction, and cross-industry applications.

By convening experts and researchers from around the world, ICARA 2026 will facilitate the exploration of emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in the field of automation and robotics. It will serve as a catalyst for interdisciplinary collaborations, industry-academia partnerships, and the dissemination of cutting-edge research. Participants will have the opportunity to present their work, engage in discussions, and establish connections with peers, leading to the advancement of automation and robotics technologies.

The conference venue in Istanbul - the historic bridge between Europe and Asia - provides an ideal setting for researchers and professionals to gather, exchange ideas, and explore the future of automation and robotics in a stimulating environment. ICARA 2026 promises to be an exciting event, shaping the future of automation and robotics, and driving innovation towards a more automated and intelligent world.
