The call for posters and demos is now open!
We invite researchers, students, and professionals to present their latest work, preliminary results, and innovative ideas. This is a fantastic opportunity to share your research with the community, engage in lively discussions, and network with leading experts in the field.
Submission Deadline (extended): 23rd March 15th April 2026 23:59 CET
Notification of Acceptance: 30th March 30th April 2026 23:59 CET
We welcome 1-page abstract submissions focusing on, but not limited to, the following themes:
Human-in-the-Loop Robotics: Promoting context-aware, symbiotic, and adaptive assistance.
Wearable Hardware Integration: The development and integration of truly wearable sensors, actuators, smart textiles, and energy systems.
Health & User Impact: Evaluating the effects of wearable device use on the physical and mental health of users.
Rehabilitation & Independence: The role of wearable devices in rehabilitation and helping older adults regain independence.
Ethics & Regulation: Engaging with regulatory and ethical developments, including the EU AI Act, and how they shape the design and deployment of human-facing wearable robotic systems.
We are now inviting researchers and developers to submit proposals for live demonstrations of wearable robotic systems. We particularly encourage demos that feature:
Functional wearable robotic devices (e.g., exoskeletons, exosuits, and assistive devices)
Novel actuation or sensing technologies
Human-in-the-loop control
Real-world applications
Interactive systems suitable for hands-on exploration
Demonstrations will be a central component of the workshop and offer a unique opportunity to showcase working systems to an international audience.
Please submit your abstract in PDF format (max. 10 MB) through our dedicated submission portal: Google forms link
Both poster and demo submissions should be 1-page long. A template is provided in the registration form.
All submitted proposals will be reviewed by the organizing committee.
Accepted abstracts will be invited to present their work in poster format during the workshop's interactive poster session. Presenters will also have the chance to briefly present their poster in flash presentation format during the workshop.
Selected poster abstracts will be invited to submit their full papers to Special Issue at Wiley’s Advanced Robotics Research on ‘Wearable Robotics for Assistance, Rehabilitation, and Augmentation’.
To recognize outstanding research and presentation, we will be awarding a Best Poster Prize and a Best Demo Prize! The prize will be awarded by anonymous voting for the most engaging, creative and high potential poster. More details to be announced on our website.
