A3 announced that the Humanoid Robot Forum will join Automate 2026 in Chicago.

ORLANDO - At the 2026 A3 Business Forum, the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) announced that the third annual Humanoid Robot Forum will be featured as part of Automate 2026.

North America’s largest robotics and automation trade show, slated for June 22-25 at McCormick Place in Chicago, will introduce a dedicated Humanoid Robot Pavilion on the show floor, sponsored by NVIDIA

Humanoid robotics takes a larger role at Automate 2026 

A3 said that the Humanoid Robot Forum will remain a separate, paid conference while being co-located at Automate. The forum will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons during Automate, offering in-depth programming focused specifically on humanoid robot development, deployment and enabling technologies.

“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. 

On the Automate exhibition floor, the Humanoid Robot Pavilion, sponsored by NVIDIA, is planned as a free-to-attend experience for all Automate show attendees. In addition to demos, A3 said that the pavilion will feature a theater for humanoid robot exhibitors to give presentations on their products throughout the show.
