Robotics conferences

This one-day symposium examines learned predictive models that support simulation, planning and policy learning. It connects generative and interactive video, latent predictive architectures, three- and four-dimensional scene representations, reinforcement learning and model-predictive control. Invited talks and contributed presentations address applications to games, robot manipulation and autonomous driving, together with the foundations and evaluation of world models. Speakers include Amir Bar, Viorica Pătrăucean, Katja Hofmann, Vassia Simaiaki, Niloy Mitra, Andrea Vedaldi and Amir Ghalamzan. The programme runs from 09:10 to 17:00 London time. Attendance costs £30 including lunch and refreshments.

This symposium connects academic and industrial work on automated chemistry, from robotic solid/liquid handling and flow chemistry to reaction monitoring, purification, algorithms and experiment design. Scientific sessions examine automated chemistry data workflows, agentic high-throughput synthesis, kinetic measurements and mechanistic models, data-driven purification and AI-assisted R&D. It serves researchers, students and industrial chemists using automation in organic, medicinal and process chemistry. The 24 November programme has registration at 10:00, opening remarks at 10:30, scientific presentations from 10:35 to 16:10 and a networking reception at 16:15 (London local time, GMT). Early-bird registration ends 27 October: SCI members GBP 105, nonmembers GBP 135 and student members GBP 55. Later rates are GBP 150, GBP 185 and GBP 95 respectively. Event-account registration is available to nonmembers.

The inaugural RACI conference on robotics, automation and machine learning in chemistry examines robotic synthesis, automated analysis, experimental planning, self-driving laboratories and chemical data science. Academic and industry researchers will exchange methods through plenary and contributed talks, posters and demonstrations. The meeting connects chemistry with robotics and AI, including cheminformatics and data-driven discovery. Paid registration includes the two-day programme, welcome reception and daytime catering; the conference dinner costs extra. Abstract submissions close on 31 October 2026, with acceptance notices on 15 November and early-bird rates through 30 November. The RACI registration table gives 18 February 2027 as the final registration date.

Bring together materials researchers, chemists, artificial-intelligence specialists and philosophers to examine how machine learning, generative modelling, robotic laboratories and advanced characterisation change the discovery of functional materials. Discussion will connect emerging opportunities to experimental validation, scientific understanding and the practical transition from prediction to application. The meeting is intended for researchers in relevant fields, with free virtual and in-person attendance and advance registration required. Optional lunch costs £25 per day. Poster abstracts of up to 200 words are due on 2027-02-19; the session takes place on the first day.

The flagship conference of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, held May 24-28, 2027 at Coex in Seoul, South Korea, bringing together the world's top researchers and industry leaders to advance the field of robotics.
