The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society is committed to advancing diversity in Robotics and Automation, and to promoting an inclusive and equitable culture that welcomes, engages, and rewards all who contribute to the field, without regard to ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, age, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.



CONNECT+

The 2024 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA2024) is the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society's flagship conference. The conference will be held from May 13th to 17th, 2024, in Yokohama, Japan. This year's conference theme is ``CONNECT+,'' reflecting the conference's aim of helping to build relationships and potential collaborations with participants within and outside their field of study. The port city of Yokohama is the symbol of Japan's opening to the outside world, and ICRA 2024 will become the symbol of Robotics' opening to the new society with many other fields. ICRA brings together robotics researchers, students and industrial partners from around the world to discuss the latest innovations and breakthroughs, highlighting the role of robotics and automation in addressing global challenges. ICRA 2024 will include plenary and keynote sessions, contributed paper sessions, workshops and tutorial sessions, forums, expo and exhibitions from our corporate partners, robot competitions and numerous social events.
