We’ve got two updates for the soft robotics community as we build toward RoboSoft 2027 in Brisbane, Australia!
🛠️ Call for Workshops & Tutorials is officially open!
We’re inviting half-day and full-day workshop and tutorial proposals on topics, such as the latest advances, emerging topics, and future directions in soft robotics. Two full days of sessions kick off the conference, and we’re especially keen on proposals with novel formats, interactive activities, and strong student engagement.
The deadline is 22 October 2026, 4:00pm GMT (UTC+0). For full details, template, and submission info: robosoft27.com/call-for-workshops.
🤖 Call for Competitions — coming soon
RoboSoft’s competitions return in 2027 with two brand-new challenges built around unstructured, “wild” environments — manipulation and locomotion. Both autonomous and teleoperated entries are welcome! The rule book is currently in development, with a full draft expected October 2026, when submissions will also open.
For more details and key dates, please visit: robosoft27.com/call-for-competitions!
Get those workshop proposals in, and keep an eye out for the full competitions call! 🧵
