Welcome to ECoR 2026!
The mission of ECoR is to create a leading forum in the field of robotics in Europe.
This conference stands at the intersection of enduring scientific principles and the rapidly evolving frontier of robotics. As advances in artificial intelligence, sensing, and autonomous systems accelerate, the foundational questions addressed here—how robots perceive, decide, learn, and interact with the world—remain as relevant as ever. The work showcased at this conference not only reflects the state of the art, but also captures ideas and methods that will continue to shape robotics well beyond current technological cycles. By bringing together researchers and practitioners from across disciplines and regions, the conference fosters a shared vision of robotics that is both responsive to today’s challenges and resilient to tomorrow’s transformations.
ECoR has a particular emphasis on showcasing research and development from Europe, whilst welcoming contributions and participations from around the world.
The inaugural edition of this new conference series will be hosted in the Mathematics Institute at the University of Oxford from the 14th to the 16th of December 2026.
ECoR 2026 will feature several keynote presentations by leading researchers in the field and a conference tutorial on an important and timely topic in intelligent robotics.
We are looking forward to your contributions and your participation at the conference.
