NEW FORMAT: Taking into consideration the travel-social distancing guidelines due to COVID-19 pandemic, the Local Organizing Committee and the Senior Committee decided to change format of FCRAR 2021 to an online virtual conference during the same dates, May 13-14, 2021.

We are monitoring the COVID-19 situation, as of this date, the conference is currently scheduled to take place in person. We are currently reviewing all options (e.g., in-person conference, virtual conference, or hybrid conference), and as soon as we make a final decision, we will update this page with more information.


Florida Conference for Recent Advances in Robotics (FCRAR) is a national conference with emphasis on robotic research areas, such as Artificial Intelligence for Robots, Kinematics, Dynamics, and Controls, Robotic Design, Mobile and Humanoid Robots, Autonomous and Unmanned Vehicles, Machine Vision, and Mechatronics. It’s been organized since 1988, and it’s been held in one of the major Florida universities every year.


For the first time in its history, University of West Florida (UWF) will be organizing FCRAR in 2021. We look forward to welcoming you to FCRAR in May!
