ISARC

The International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (ISARC) is a globally recognised forum dedicated to the advancement of automation, robotics and digital technologies in the construction sector. Organised annually by the International Association for Automation and Robotics in Construction (IAARC), this symposium attracts an international community of researchers, practitioners, engineers, planners and industry leaders focused on bridging cutting-edge research with real-world construction applications.

ISARC’s core mission is to explore how emerging technologies can transform the way built environments are designed, constructed and managed. The event features a rich programme of peer-reviewed technical presentations, keynote talks and panel discussions that cover a broad array of topics such as autonomous and robotic systems, digital modelling and simulation, augmented and virtual reality, data analytics, machine learning, smart infrastructure and sustainability-oriented innovations.

The symposium excels as a platform for both academic exchange and industry collaboration. Delegates include experts from civil and building engineering, information technology and planning, alongside professionals from robotics, automation and construction logistics sectors. Through rigorous paper presentations and interactive sessions, participants gain insights into state-of-the-art research, practical case studies and future-focused technologies that are shaping the construction industry globally.

Exhibitions and networking opportunities form an essential part of the event experience, enabling attendees to connect with technology innovators, research institutions and potential partners. The highly respected ISARC Proceeding publications further extend the impact of symposium contributions, documenting peer-refereed research that helps guide future developments and applications within automated construction and related disciplines.

Whether you are engaged in academia, technological development or project delivery, ISARC offers a valuable stage to exchange ideas, forge collaborations and stay ahead of trends in construction automation and robotics — making it a must-attend gathering for professionals shaping the future of the built environment.
