ROSCon Singapore 2026

Open-source robotics has transformed how robots are built. The next challenge is deploying them reliably in the real world.

As robots become part of hospitals, factories, warehouses, and public spaces, questions around interoperability, fleet coordination, and long-term operations have become just as important as the robots themselves. ROSCon Singapore 2026 brings together developers, researchers, system integrators, operators, and industry practitioners to share practical lessons from deploying robotics systems beyond the lab.

Hosted at Lorong AI, the conference features technical talks, deployment case studies, panel discussions, and community sessions covering Open-RMF, healthcare robotics, industrial automation, multi-robot coordination, and embodied AI.

Featured Sessions

From Demo to Deployment: Making ROS Systems Production Ready

What does it really take to move from a successful robotics demo to a production-ready system? Moderated by Suchitra Narayan (SGInnovate), this panel brings together Dr Geoffrey Biggs (Open Source Robotics Foundation), Prof Mohan Rajesh Elara (SUTD), Dr Feiyue Wang (Certis), and Arrif Ziaudeen (Menlo Robotics) to discuss interoperability, operational ownership, engineering trade-offs, and the realities of deploying ROS systems at scale.

The Future of Open-RMF

Dr Michael Grey, Technical Lead at Intrinsic Singapore and Open-RMF Project Lead, shares the latest developments shaping the future of Open-RMF. Learn how the next generation of Open-RMF is expanding interoperability across hospitals, manufacturing, warehousing, and other large-scale autonomous environments.

Healthcare Robotics in Practice

Hear from Lim Chui Ping (CHART) on lessons from operating heterogeneous robot fleets across hospitals and nursing homes, and from Brandon Koh (CHART) and Oh Xueyan (SUTD) on integrating mobile manipulators into Open-RMF managed healthcare environments.

From Industrial Automation to Embodied AI

Explore how Chen Bainian and Kenny Soh (ROS-Industrial Consortium Asia Pacific) are extending Open-RMF into manufacturing, warehousing, and laboratory automation, before looking ahead with Teo Wei De (ROS-I) as he shares how embodied AI is enabling the next generation of intelligent humanoid robots.
