Welcome to ICoSR 2025

The 2025 4th International Conference on Service Robotics (ICoSR 2025) will be held in Guangzhou, China during July 25-27, 2025. It is organized by South China University of Technology, and co-organized by Southern University of Science and Technology.


Robotics technology has been playing a key role in escalating industries, frontier researches and daily life. Service robots, which encompass a range of systems, including field robots, construction robots, agriculture robots, cleaning robots, logistics robots, medical robots, and humanoid robots, have the potential to significantly enhance safety, efficiency, and productivity using robotics technology. The International Conference on Service Robotics (ICoSR 2025) has been organized to promote research and development in this field by providing a platform for robotics researchers and engineers from all over the world to exchange their views on the theoretical and application challenges of service robots in a collaborative, stimulating and open-minded environment. Policy makers, stakeholders, and experts from related disciplines are also encouraged to participate and contribute to scientific progress in the area of service robotics.


Guangzhou, renowned for its beauty and cultural significance, will serve as an exceptional venue to welcome participants to enjoy the conference program, comprising of plenary speeches, keynote speeches, oral presentations, poster presentations, discussion sessions, and social activities.
