ICARCV 2026

About the conference

The 19th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision (ICARCV 2026), will be held in Fukuoka, Japan, 14-19 Nov 2026. The conference is organized by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and technically co-sponsored by IEEE Control Systems Society. The conference will be held fully in physical mode this time.

ICARCV has a history of more than 35 years. It focuses on both theory and applications mainly covering the topics of control, automation, robotics and computer vision. In addition to the technical sessions, there will be invited sessions, plenary speeches, keynote speeches, and plenary panel sessions.

Proceedings of past ICARCVs have been indexed by ISI Proceedings, EI Compendex and included in the IEEE Xplore. To encourage research sharing, we will also allow authors to submit journal papers, accepted within 12 months before Nov. 14, 2026, from top tier journals to be presented in the conference. However, the submission will not be indexed in IEEE Xplore.
