IFAC Joint Symposia on Mechatronics & Robotics

New deadline (firm!) for the IFAC Mechatronics journal submission with presentation at the Symposia: December 31, 2024

Welcome!

We are delighted to invite you to the joint Symposia of the 10th IFAC Symposium on Mechatronic Systems (MECHATRONICS 2025) and the newly rebranded 14th IFAC Symposium on Robotics (ROBOTICS 2025), which was previously known as “SYROCO.” Both Symposia will be held in the beautiful city of Paris from July 15 to July 18, 2025, and are triennial events, occurring every three years. We are also delighted that the “2025 IFAC Council & Related meetings” will be in conjunction with the two Symposia in Paris.

This unique event provides an exceptional opportunity for researchers, engineers, students, professionals, and experts in the fields of mechatronics, robotics, and related areas to come together, share their latest findings, and discuss emerging trends.

Co-organized by the University of Technology of Tarbes Occitanie Pyrénées, Sorbonne University, and the University of Paris-Est Créteil, these Symposia are technically main-sponsored by IFAC, with additional technical sponsorship from IFAC TC4.2 Mechatronic Systems, IFAC TC4.3 Robotics, IFAC TC4.1 Human Machine Systems, and by the French CNRS GDR MACS and the French SAGIP in which lies the French NMO.

Join us in Paris for a week of insightful presentations, engaging discussions, and networking with leading minds in the field. We look forward to welcoming you!

In 2025, the symposia offer various submission options:

Article Submission: Submit an article to the IFAC Mechatronics journal and present it at a symposium. (The deadline has been extended to December 31, 2024)
Regular Paper: Submit a regular paper to a symposium.
Invited Paper: Submit an invited paper through one of the designated sessions.
Extended Abstract: Submit an extended abstract to a symposium.
Workshop or Tutorial: Organize a workshop or tutorial.
Workshop or Tutorial Presentation: Present at a workshop or a tutorial session.
Invited Session Organization: Organize invited sessions.

For each submission, the contributor should decide whether it aligns more closely with the Symposium on Mechatronic Systems or Symposium on Robotics and submit the manuscript accordingly. Following the event, authors of chosen regular and invited papers will be invited to expand their work for a special issue of the IFAC Mechatronics journal.
