ICRA 2026 Community Building Day
Advances in Robotics and Automation are meant to benefit the world at large; therefore, we recognize the importance of ensuring that everyone feels welcome in the field of robotics. This year’s Community Building Day events aim to highlight the scientific merit of creating inclusive environments. Community Building Day is open to everyone at ICRA 2026. We encourage you to join us, learn more about how you can engage and promote inclusivity in our field, and support IEEE’s mission to foster technological innovation and excellence that benefit humanity.
