ICRA is the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society’s flagship conference. It’s a global event that has been hosted around the world – from San Fransisco to Shanghai – since 1984. It brings together the world's top academics, researchers, and industry representatives – and we expect more than 4,000 people to attend the 40th ICRA conference, which is being held in London for the first time.
