The 2026 edition will mark the third annual Humanoid Robot Forum (the 2025 in Seattle was sponsored by Machines Italia) will be featured as part of Automate, North America’s largest robotics and automation trade show slated for June 22-25 at McCormick Place, Chicago. Automate also will introduce a dedicated Humanoid Robot Pavilion on the show floor, sponsored by NVIDIA.
“Humanoid robotics is generating a tremendous amount of interest across the automation ecosystem,” said Jeff Burnstein, president of A3. “By bringing the Humanoid Robot Forum and a dedicated pavilion to Automate, we’re giving attendees a practical opportunity to learn where the technology stands today, what challenges remain, and how humanoids may fit into real-world applications over time.” Burnstein added that humanoid robot exhibitors in the show will also get great feedback from the tens of thousands of customers who will attend the event.
As of 2024, the show now runs annually rather than biennially. For the latest listing of Italian companies participating directly from Italy, click here and select "Italy".
