Interactive. Live. Unmissable. Step in and experience robotics firsthand
PAL Robotics, a European leader in humanoid and service robotics, will return to the 2026 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA). The event will take place in Vienna, Austria from June 1 to 5. This year, PAL Robotics will arrive with a clear focus: bringing robotics closer to real-world application through hands-on interaction and a new product launch.
As one of the most important global events in robotics, ICRA gathers researchers, engineers and industry leaders to explore the technologies shaping the future. This year, PAL Robotics will bring its platforms not only to showcase them, but to demonstrate how European robotics is at the forefront of the industry. This leadership is driven by a robust community of research institutions, strong alignment between academia and industry, and a clear focus on human-centric platforms, enabling continuous progress and close collaboration.
At booth nº 067, visitors will be invited to go beyond observation and engage directly with robotic systems through interactive demonstrations designed around real research workflows.
Through these experiences, participants will explore how teleoperation, data collection and embodied AI come together to accelerate real-world applications. By allowing users to control robots, generate data and test behaviors in real time, PAL Robotics highlights the importance of bridging the gap between digital simulation and physical deployment, an approach that continues to define the company’s work and vision.
A new robotic solution for advanced manipulation
One of the key moments of PAL Robotics’ presence at ICRA 2026 will be the unveiling of a new robotic platform focused on advanced manipulation.
This new robot is designed to respond to a growing need within the robotics community: flexible, high-performance tools that can adapt to different research and application scenarios. By expanding manipulation capabilities and integrating seamlessly into existing workflows, the platform aims to support teams in turning ambitious ideas into functional, real-world systems.
With this launch, the company continues to strengthen its role as a platform provider. From mobile bases to advanced humanoids, PAL Robotics’ technologies are empowering researchers and companies worldwide to push the boundaries of robotics.
Robots in action: from AI to real-world deployment
Alongside the new launch, PAL Robotics will showcase its flagship robot portfolio through live demonstrations.
TIAGo Pro will demonstrate how navigation, manipulation and perception can be combined within a single platform to support advanced research and industry applications. Through an interactive demo, visitors will experience teleoperation as a powerful tool for generating high-quality data and training AI systems.
KANGAROO, the company’s latest humanoid platform, will highlight new approaches to locomotion, whole-body control and reinforcement learning. Designed for advanced research in dynamic environments, it represents a step forward in the development of robots capable of operating beyond structured settings.
Together, these systems illustrate a common goal: enabling robots to move from controlled environments into the complexity of the real world.
Shaping the future of robotics, together
PAL Robotics’ participation in ICRA 2026 reflects its ongoing commitment to advancing the global robotics ecosystem, from Europe to the world. By combining new developments with interactive experiences, the company aims to create a space for dialogue, experimentation and collaboration. Visit PAL Robotics at booth nº 067!
About PAL Robotics
PAL Robotics started in 2004, when a small group of engineers built the first fully autonomous humanoid biped robot in Europe which also happened to play chess. Today the company is still well known for humanoid robots, as well as retail and manufacturing solutions, and develops state-of-the-art robots for companies and research institutions worldwide. PAL Robotics’ mission is to enhance people’s quality of life through service robotics and automation, and the company has also partnered in over 60 collaborative research projects to further the development of robotics.
