Welcome to IEEE-EPIC 2026
The 2026 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Sensing for Embodied Perception and Physical Artificial Intelligence (IEEE-EPIC 2026) will be held in Shenzhen, China, from December 4 to 7, 2026.

1. The IEEE International Conference on Advanced Sensing for Embodied Perception and Physical Artificial Intelligence is an annual exclusive academic forum focusing on fundamental research of physical artificial intelligence sensing.
2. Embodied intelligence requires robust and reliable perception and closed-loop interaction in the real world, with application scenarios covering autonomous robots, intelligent manufacturing systems, wearable and implantable devices, assistive and rehabilitation technologies, and clinical medical devices.
3. Every year, scholars from around the world gather to present the latest research results in areas such as sensors and devices, multimodal sensing and fusion, edge artificial intelligence, perception-action learning, calibration and reliability, as well as rigorous validation in laboratory, field and clinical environments.
4. Meanwhile, cutting-edge enterprises will share technological progress behind benchmark products, prototypes and large-scale practical applications, focusing on design trade-offs, safety compliance, and practical experience gained from real users and patients.
5. Through plenary talks, special tutorials, academic competitions and technical demonstrations, the conference builds a bridge between academia, industry and medical circles, accelerates technology transfer and transformation, facilitates multi-party cooperation, and leads the development direction of embodied intelligence in the next decade.
