The conference captures the full stack of modern embodied intelligence. It bridges rigorous engineering principles with cognitive and goal-driven autonomy, advancing systems that not only sense and act, but reason, adapt, and operate safely within complex real-world environments.</p> <p>Modern intelligent systems emerge from the integration of control theory, mechanical design, embedded intelligence, sensing, and perception. The convergence of control, mechatronics, robotics, and machine vision defines a new generation of autonomous and semi-autonomous systems capable of interacting robustly with complex physical environments. These systems increasingly operate across industrial, medical, agricultural, urban, and exploratory domains.<br> <br> Advances in sensing technologies, real-time computation, machine learning, and adaptive control have expanded the boundaries of what physical systems can perceive, decide, and execute. Robotics is no longer isolated mechanical automation; it is perception-driven, data-informed, and increasingly cognitive. Mechatronic systems are becoming adaptive platforms where software intelligence and physical dynamics co-evolve.</p> <p>Professionals from industry, government, and academia, researchers, engineers, practitioners, and students are invited to contribute. DIGITAS welcomes 1) full papers presenting significant research, development, application, position, or survey, 2) short papers on work-in-progress, 3) posters, 4) contributed talk presentations, as well as workshops, thematic sessions, and demos.</p> <p>Prospective authors are invited to submit original, unpublished works, which are not under review in any other conference or journal.</p> <p><strong><u>IMPORTANT DATES:</u><br> Submission deadline: August 21, 2026</strong><br> Notification: September 15, 2026<br> Registration: October 1, 2026<br> Camera Ready: October 10, 2026</p> <p>Themes of interest include, but are not limited to:</p> <ul><li id="elementor-tab-title-2081" class="elementor-tab-title"><i><a tabindex="0">Advanced Control Systems and Agentic Perspective</a></i> </li><li> <i><a tabindex="0">Mechatronic Systems Design and Integration</a></i> </li><li> <i><a tabindex="0">Robotics Systems and Architectures</a></i> </li><li> <i><a tabindex="0">Machine Vision and Perception Systems</a></i> </li><li> <i><a tabindex="0">Intelligent and Learning-Based Systems</a></i> </li><li> <i><a tabindex="0">Autonomous Systems and Navigation</a></i> </li><li> <i><a tabindex="0">Human - Robot Interaction and Collaborative Systems</a></i> </li><li> <i><a tabindex="0">Agentic Architectures for Autonomous Physical Systems</a></i> </li><li> <i><a tabindex="0">Emerging Applications and Future Directions</a></i></li></ul> <p>For more information on topics, submission types, satellite events, etc., please visit the conference website at <a href="https://www.dtrsociety.org/cmrmv2026/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.dtrsociety.org/cmrmv2026/</a></p> <br> <strong>Conference Chairs<br> </strong>Lect.
