From January 21, 2026 to January 22, 2026
ROSCon KR 2026 – ROS Developers Conference (Korea Edition)
Event Title：ROSCon KR 2026
Organizer：Open Robotics
In collaboration with the local ROS community in South Korea
Dates & Venue: January 21st - 22nd, 2026
Overview
ROSCon KR 2026 is the Korean edition of the global ROSCon conference series, dedicated to developers, researchers, and companies working with the Robot Operating System (ROS) and ROS 2. The event serves as a technical gathering for the ROS ecosystem, emphasizing real-world deployment, middleware architecture, autonomy frameworks, and open-source robotics collaboration.
Unlike broad robotics expos, ROSCon KR is highly engineering-focused. Sessions typically dive into system integration challenges, performance optimization, simulation-to-real transfer, and ROS 2 migration strategies across industrial, service, and research robotics platforms.

Industry Relevance
As ROS 2 becomes the dominant middleware for commercial robotics, regional developer conferences such as ROSCon KR play a strategic role in ecosystem scaling. The event reflects Korea’s expanding footprint in humanoids, AMRs, service robots, and industrial automation—many of which rely on ROS-based software stacks.
For robotics companies, ROSCon KR provides early visibility into middleware trends, tooling updates, and integration best practices critical for scalable deployment.
