Special Session for the 11th International Conference on Advanced Robots & Mechatronics ICARM

SCOPE (TOPICS) 

ABOUT THE SPECIAL SESSION

The performance, reliability, and autonomy of modern robotic systems are increasingly limited by traditional architectures that separate structure, sensing, actuation, and control. Robotic materials and intelligent structures offer an alternative paradigm, where mechanical components actively contribute to perception, actuation, adaptation, and long-term reliability.

This special session covers the advancements made in the selection and manufacturing processes of materials for robotic including smart composites, polymers, metals, ceramics, hybrid systems, as well as eco-friendly materials. The performance, reliability, and autonomy of modern robotic systems are increasingly limited by traditional architectures that separate structure, sensing, actuation, and control. Robotic materials and intelligent structures offer an alternative paradigm, where mechanical components actively contribute to perception, actuation, adaptation, and long-term reliability. These materials enable embedded sensing, actuation, stiffness modulation, damping, energy transduction, and self-diagnostic capabilities directly at the material or structural level. Applications span industrial and collaborative robotics, manipulators, mobile robots, medical devices, and field robotics operating under uncertain or harsh conditions. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: This conference is EI indexed and accepted papers will have the chance to be recommended to journal Special Issues.
