International Robot Safety Conference 2025

Demand for robotics is at an all-time high and robot safety is paramount to your success. Hosted by the Association for Advancing Automation, the International Robot Safety Conference (IRSC) will examine key issues in robot safety and provide an in-depth overview of current industry standards and best practices.

As robotic applications continue to become more advanced, more capable and more popular, the need for comprehensive robot safety knowledge increases exponentially. For more than 35 years, companies have relied on this conference to improve their team’s knowledge about robots, safety, and risk assessment.
