14th International Conference on Robot Intelligence Technology and Applications

The 14th International Conference on Robot Intelligence Technology and Applications (RiTA 2026) will be held at the National Science Museum in Daejeon, South Korea, from December 2nd to 4th, 2026. This conference is sponsored by the Robot Intelligence Technology and Applications (RiTA) Association, a non-profit organization established in 2021 to foster community solidarity among roboticists—even though the RiTA conference series was originally initiated by KAIST in 2012.

For over a decade, the RiTA conferences have contributed significantly to the advancement of robot technology by strengthening the global robotics community. RiTA has not only advanced robot intelligence but also enhanced robot performance through the integration of intelligent technologies. It has become a key driver in the evolution of robot applications across various industries, presenting the latest case studies and real-world implementations.

The ultimate goal of robot evolution is to enable seamless communication with humans and objects, effectively perform human-like tasks, and provide meaningful assistance in daily life. Under the theme “Intelligent Robotics for a Connected World,” RiTA 2026 will explore cutting-edge technologies that empower robots to make autonomous decisions, solve problems independently, and find optimized solutions through interaction with their environments.
