The IEEE Telepresence conference is a specialized venue focused on research in robotic systems that enable humans to act and interact remotely through embodied platforms. It brings together work on telepresence robots, immersive interfaces, and human–robot interaction, with an emphasis on creating a strong sense of presence and effective remote collaboration. The conference highlights advances in system design, autonomy, and multimodal communication that support physically grounded remote participation.

ATEC2026 is a premier robotics competition organized by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the Advanced Technology Exploration Community (ATEC). Focused on embodied AI and real-world system-level capabilities, ATEC2026 is a leading platform for high-stakes robotics challenges. The initiative has established a significant global footprint, previously attracting over 5,000 participants from more than 200 universities worldwide.
