New England Manipulation Symposium (NEMS) 2026

The New England Manipulation Symposium (NEMS) is an annual research symposium in the Northeast focused on robot manipulation research of all kinds, including mechanics, mechanisms, control, learning, perception, and planning. NEMS has two main goals. First, to provide an opportunity for members of the Northeast robot manipulation research community to meet and talk in person, share ideas, and become familiar with each other’s work. Second, to provide students and early-career researchers a platform from which to present their latest work. NEMS 2026 will be hosted by the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
