ICRA 2026
My experience and learnings from attending International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Vienna
On this page
It was my first ICRA and it was awesome experience. It's 5 day conference, first and last day for workshops and 3 days for main conference. Many things to talk about from poster presentations to exhibition and quality of planetary sessions. It was huge conference with 8000 attendies and it's expected to go over 10k next year.
Exhibition
- Actuators, Hands, arms and Humanoids sums up the exhibition.
- Talk about patents and certification sensor drive, actuators quality and difficulty in winding at small scale
- Lack of tech guys at some booths, interesting to see flexion showing real rl wihtout cherry picked or engineered demos
- some booths focusing on making software layer, layers above hardware and less interest in going full stack
Lightwheel Party and YRP social hour
Startup Scene
- roberts workshop was very helpful in understanding the robotics startup scene in europe
Posters and Research Quality
