IS-PAIR 2026

The 2nd International Symposium on Physical Artificial Intelligence and Robotics


Scope

To meet the demand of the roboticists, AI and material scientists for academic communication, the 2nd International Symposium on Physical Artificial Intelligence and Robotics will be held on 10th-11th February 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand. This symposium will be supported by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, organized by Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology, Chulalongkorn University, Mahidol University, KMUTT, and KMITL. The objective of the interdisciplinary symposium is to provide an international forum for students or outstanding scientists and engineers around the world who are interested in the field of physical artificial intelligence, i.e., physical bodies (robotics) and their interaction with the brain (control and processing) and real world for machine intelligence towards good health and well-being. All aspects of physical artificial intelligence, robotics, material science, bio-inspired structural design, and their application areas are welcome, including, but not limited to, the following topics: 

Physical Artificial Intelligence & robotics

Embodied Intelligence, Bio-Inspired Robotics, Adaptive Systems and Control, Artificial Neural Networks, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Multi-Agent Systems, Intelligent Robots, Wearable Assistive Technology, Humanoid Robots.

Biomimetic Materials, Sensors, & Actuators

Smart and Soft Materials, Nanomaterials, Bio-inspired Structures, Biomimetic Sensors and Actuators, Sensory Integration, Artificial Muscles.

Abstract Submission Instruction & Publication Details

Please prepare your abstracts using the Frontiers templates available here for Word or LaTeX. The abstract should be 500 words, and the title 500 characters. Up to one figure or table can also be added.
Then, submit your abstract on our submission page (coming soon) until 25th January 2026, 23:59:59 UTC+7. All accepted abstracts will be published on Zenodo (open repository operated by CERN, EU). The best abstract, as well as the best poster, will be awarded at the conference.
