From foundational control theory and mechatronic integration to robotic architectures, perception systems, learning-enhanced autonomy, human collaboration, distributed coordination, and agentic decision layers, 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.

If you want to get involved beyond submitting an article, please consider organizing a workshop, a thematic session, or a demo. Details are available on the Event Satellites page.

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.

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.

This conference provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to explore theoretical foundations, algorithmic advances, system architectures, and real-world applications across control engineering, mechatronic integration, robotic systems, and machine vision. It aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and accelerate innovation at the intersection of physical systems and intelligent computation.

Professionals from industry, government, and academia, researchers, engineers, practitioners, and students are invited to contribute. CMRMV 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.
