Control engineering, an interdisciplinary branch combining engineering and mathematics, focuses on the design, identification, and analysis of systems to achieve desired performance for specific tasks. Robotics encompasses the science and engineering of designing, manufacturing, and applying robots, integrating computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. Today, these dynamic fields permeate every facet of modern life and are poised to play an increasingly vital role in shaping our societies.
The 2026 International Conference on Control, Robotics Engineering and Technology (CRET 2026) will be held from September 24th to 26th, 2026, in the vibrant coastal city of Kristiansand, Norway.
CRET 2026 serves as an international forum dedicated to presenting groundbreaking research and fostering collaboration across the converging fields of control systems, robotics engineering, and enabling technologies. The conference brings together leading researchers, engineers, and practitioners from academia and industry to shape the future of these rapidly evolving disciplines.
The program will include plenary talks by internationally renowned experts, interactive workshops, and oral presentations covering a broad spectrum of topics, such as advanced control systems, robotic perception and manipulation, autonomous systems, AI in robotics, human-robot interaction, and many others. CRET fosters original contributions, pioneering ideas, and novel perspectives that push the boundaries of control and robotics technology.
We look forward to welcoming you to Kristiansand for this exciting opportunity to engage with state-of-the-art research, share valuable insights, and contribute to the advancement of control, robotics engineering, and technology.
