Submission Guidelines / Call for Papers
Welcome to the 20th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR 2027), the biannual conference on theoretical and experimental issues in the fields of Rehabilitation Robotics and Neuroscience. ICORR covers several disciplines with both theoretical and experimental challenges in robotics, control engineering, and neuroscience applied to healthcare. Focuses include cutting-edge solutions to boost the rehabilitation process, providing robotic assistance to address and speed up motor recovery, and unveiling mechanisms underlying brain plasticity. Our main goals are to enable greater societal inclusion, enhance independence, and improve quality of life, while equipping health systems with technological tools that support prevention, diagnosis, rehabilitation, and personal assistance.
Invited Scientific Themes
Papers in the following areas are invited for submission:
- Assistive Robotics
- Therapeutic Robotics
- Human-Machine Interfaces for Rehabilitation
- Robotics in Prosthetics
- Wearable Robotics and Orthotics
