ISARC 2026

ISARC 2026: Pioneering the Future of Construction Automation
The International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (ISARC) returns to Singapore for its 43rd edition from June 22–26, 2026, under the theme "Smart Construction: Resilience, Sustainability, and Intelligence." As the world’s leading forum for automation and robotics in construction, ISARC 2026 will bring together global researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to address pressing challenges in the built environment through cutting-edge technology.

Why Singapore?
Singapore’s reputation as a global hub for smart urban planning and sustainable development makes it the ideal host. The city-state’s commitment to innovation—evidenced in its National Robotics Programme and Green Plan 2030—aligns perfectly with ISARC’s mission. Attendees will experience firsthand Singapore’s integration of robotics in mega-projects like the Jurong Island Expansion and Tuas Port, gaining insights into scalable, future-ready solutions.

Key Themes & Content
ISARC 2026 will feature over 150 peer-reviewed presentations, workshops, and exhibitions across four tracks:
1. AI-Driven Construction Management: Leveraging machine learning for predictive maintenance, real-time site monitoring, and resource optimization.
2. Sustainable Robotics: Focus on decarbonization, waste reduction, and circular-economy practices using robotic demolition, 3D printing, and material recycling.
3. Human-Robot Collaboration: Advancements in cobotics, exoskeletons, and autonomous systems to enhance worker safety and productivity.
4. Resilient Infrastructure: Robotic solutions for disaster response, adaptive infrastructure, and climate-resilient construction in extreme environments.

Special sessions will include "Policy & Regulation for Smart Construction" and a Startup Pitch Competition, fostering industry-academia partnerships.

Expected Outcomes
Attendees will explore:
- Live Demonstrations: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), autonomous earthmovers, and bricklaying robots.
- Case Studies: From Singapore’s Kampung Admiralty smart district to global mega-projects.
- Networking: Dedicated B2B forums with leaders from Topcon, Boston Dynamics, and Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA).

Who Should Attend?
Engineers, urban planners, robotics developers, policymakers, and sustainability professionals seeking to:
- Adopt automation for cost and efficiency gains.
- Align with global sustainability standards (e.g., UN SDGs).
- Shape the future of construction in the AI era.

ISARC 2026 promises to accelerate the industry’s transformation toward safer, greener, and more intelligent construction. Register now to be part of this pivotal gathering shaping the built environment of tomorrow.
