MIPRO Croatian Society and the University of Zadar are organizing the 5th Robotics Conference – MIPRO Robotics 2026 in Zadar from 9 to 12 September 2026. The event brings together scientific and professional discussions on robotics with practical demonstrations of new technologies. The program includes the RTA conference, the special RTA-DRONES section, and the Robot-Drone Demo Convoy.

The conference will bring together representatives of academia, industry and other stakeholders with the aim of exchanging knowledge and fostering new collaborations in the field of robotics and autonomous systems.

We are pleased to inform all authors, collaborators and followers that the MIPRO 2026 Conference Proceedings have been officially published!

408 papers were accepted at this year's conference, submitted by 1096 authors from as many as 53 countries across 6 continents – confirming the global reach and significance of the conference.

The MIPRO Annual ICT Award, "Tesla's Beacon of Knowledge", honored individuals whose pioneering achievements had made outstanding contributions to the advancement of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), science, and innovation. Inspired by the legacy of Nikola Tesla, the award recognized visionary leadership, scientific excellence, and technological breakthroughs that shape the future of society.

Nobel Laureate John Martinis, a pioneer in quantum computing and Nobel Prize laureate, will deliver a plenary lecture as part of the Formal Opening of the MIPRO 2026 conference on Wednesday, May 27, 2026.
 
 

The world-renowned physicist and Nobel laureate John Martinis is considered one of the most important contemporary scientists in the field of quantum computing. His research has been instrumental in the development of superconducting qubits and has paved the way for the creation of next-generation functional quantum computers.

New Mega Data Center that could change Croatia’s Digital Landscape
 
 

An ambitious project announced for the construction of an AI innovation and data center called “Pantheon”, one of the largest planned data centers in Europe, which could position Croatia among important European centers for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. 

Economic AI and HPC Forum (STEP-AI)

Artificial (Anorganic) Intelligence (AI) is no longer a question of the future – it is already transforming the way companies operate, make decisions, and gain competitive advantage. The key question is no longer whether to use AI, but how to implement it effectively, scalably, and profitably.

Pradeeban Kathiravelu, an assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA), USA, will give an invited lecture at the SSE. He is currently a visiting researcher at the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula within the project Human-Centered System Design for Equitable and Sustainable Digital Societies (EQUISYS).
 
 

The circumpolar north, which includes Arctic regions such as Alaska, Canada, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, and Sweden, faces major challenges due to extreme climate conditions, remoteness, and historically limited internet access, although LEO satellite networks like Starlink are improving connectivity. These developments open new possibilities for distributed computing, especially in critical areas such as telehealth, where remote communities can access medical care despite distance and high network latency. They also support climate research, particularly the monitoring and prediction of Arctic sea ice extent and coastal erosion, which is essential for planning adaptation and relocation strategies in the face of climate change.

As part of the 49. International MIPRO 2026 Convention in Opatija, as part of Formal Opening, a round table will bring together leading experts from industry, academia, and regulatory bodies to discuss one of the most pressing questions in contemporary mobility: how close are autonomous vehicles to widespread deployment — and what is still missing on the legal, safety, and infrastructure fronts?
 
 

The discussion will cover key technological and regulatory challenges — from AI system validation and safety architecture, through communication infrastructure (V2X, 5G/6G), to liability for autonomous vehicle accidents and compliance with the EU regulatory framework: the AI Act, the new Product Liability Directive, and national traffic legislation.

Davor Runje is the Vice President for Agentic Systems at Synthpop AI, a U.S.-based software company specializing in healthcare process automation, and he will deliver an invited lecture on the topic of communicating AI-based agentic systems as part of the AIS conference.
 

AI agents are increasingly pervasive. While they are built on large language models, they often appear more capable than anysingle model alone. We argue that a primary reason for this effect is effective inter-agent communication.

MIPRO – Croatian Society for Information, Communication and Electronic Technology and CroAI – the Croatian Artificial Intelligence Association have signed a Cooperation Agreement with the aim of strengthening national and international activities in the field of artificial intelligence, advanced digital technologies, and their application in the economy and society.
