The Organizing Committee of the 2026 7th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Control (AIRC 2026) invites proposals for Special Sessions to be held during the conference in Savannah, GA, USA, from April 8–10, 2026.
Special Sessions will complement the regular technical program by highlighting new, emerging, or particularly significant topics at specific or cross levels-of-abstraction. These sessions should focus on state-of-the-art research from both academia and industry, addressing specialized, novel, challenging, or emerging areas. Accepted Special Sessions will run concurrently with technical sessions during the main three days of the conference.
