Welcome to BioRob 2026
About BioRob 2026
The 11th iteration of the IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics – BioRob 2026 – represents a collaborative endeavor between two IEEE Societies: Robotics and Automation (RAS) and Engineering in Medicine and Biology (EMBS).
BioRob delves into both theoretical and practical challenges arising from the integration of robotics and mechatronics into medicine and biology. The main objective of Biorobotics is to evaluate biological systems through a ‘biomechatronic’ lens, striving to unravel the scientific and engineering principles that underpin their exceptional performance. This deep comprehension of biological system functions, behaviors, and interactions serves two primary purposes: to inform the design and creation of new, high-performance bio-inspired machinery and systems for various applications, and to foster the development of innovative nano-, micro-, and macro-devices that can act upon, replace, or assist human beings in areas such as disease prevention, diagnostics, surgical procedures, prosthetics, rehabilitation, and personal assistance.
Papers may span various domains of Biorobotics and Biomechatronics, including:
- Robotic Surgery and Diagnosis
- Robotic Rehabilitation and Assistance
- Haptics and Human-Machine Interaction
- Exoskeletons, Exosuits, and Wearable Assistive Devices
- Bionics and Prosthetics
- Neuro-Robotics, Neural Interfaces, and Human-Centered Design
- Biologically-Inspired Robotics and Biomimetics
- Soft Robotics
- Micro/Nano Robotics in Medicine and Biology
- Swarm Robotics in Medicine
- AI and Learning in Biomedical Robotics
- AI for Movement and Neuromechanics
- Societal, Ethical, and Regulatory Aspects of Biomedical Robotics
