Scope:
The Robotics Technologies and Applications (RTA) conference brings together researchers and practitioners working on robotics and autonomous systems. It spans robot design, perception, learning, planning, control, and human–robot interaction, from theoretical foundations to practical deployment.
Contributions are welcome on methodological advances, software and hardware developments, and applications across industry, healthcare, transportation, agriculture, and marine environments. Original research, system developments, and industrial case studies should present a clear scientific or engineering contribution supported by appropriate analysis, simulation, experiments, or field evaluation.
Topics:
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Robot Learning and Embodied AI, including Foundation and World Models
- Robot Modeling, Identification, and Control, including Data-Driven and Koopman Operator Methods
- Robot Perception, Computer Vision, Tactile Sensing, and Sensor Fusion
- Localization, Mapping, and Autonomous Navigation
- Task and Motion Planning, Decision-Making, and Multi-Robot Systems
- Robot Manipulation, Dexterous Grasping, and Contact-Rich Interaction
- Human–Robot Interaction, Collaborative Robotics, and Teleoperation
- Mobile, Legged, Humanoid, and Service Robots
- Soft Robotics, Bioinspired Robotics, and Biomechatronics
- Medical, Rehabilitation, Assistive, and Wearable Robotics
- Industrial Robotics, System Integration, Logistics, and Autonomous Transportation
- Aerial Robotics and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
- Marine and Underwater Robotics, including Autonomous Surface Vessels
- Field Robotics for Agriculture, Environmental Monitoring, and Infrastructure Inspection
- Robot Design, Sensors, Actuators, and Embedded Systems
- ROS/ROS 2, Open-Source Software, and Real-Time Robotics
- Simulation, Digital Twins, Sim-to-Real Transfer, and Benchmarking

Location:
Opatija is the leading seaside resort of the Eastern Adriatic and one of the most famous tourist destinations on the Mediterranean. With its aristocratic architecture and style, Opatija has been attracting artists, kings, politicians, scientists, sportsmen, as well as business people, bankers and managers for more than 180 years.
The tourist offer in Opatija includes a vast number of hotels, excellent restaurants, entertainment venues, art festivals, superb modern and classical music concerts, beaches and swimming pools – this city satisfies all wishes and demands.
Opatija, the Queen of the Adriatic, is also one of the most prominent congress cities in the Mediterranean, particularly important for its ICT conventions, one of which is MIPRO, which has been held in Opatija since 1979, and attracts more than a thousand participants from over forty countries. These conventions promote Opatija as one of the most desirable technological, business, educational and scientific centers in South-eastern Europe and the European Union in general.
