FIRA World Summit 2026

The FIRA World Summit 2026 will be held with the FIRA RoboWorld Cup 2026 from the 17th to the 21st of July 2026 in Markham, Ontario, Canada. The purpose of organizing the FIRA RoboWorldCup and Summit is to share many ideas and research results in AI and robotics areas. The FIRA Summit is soliciting novel research results on advanced robotics, intelligent systems, and building successful simulations for robots and systems. The original research papers reported on the leading edge of science and technology will be peer-reviewed and presented in this Summit, in order to consolidate the state of the art advancement in key areas of robotics and AI. The organizing committee of the FIRA 2026 World Summit is preparing to hold this year's conference, as a hybrid event.
